My first game is about to release on Steam [ARTSEC](Laboratory/Story Game)

It’s been a while since my last post about this project (I really underestimated how cumbersome and slow bureaucracy is..), but now I can finally announce the upcoming release of my first game:

I got the idea for this originally from playing "Scavenger SV-4”, a very cool sci-fi game where you use a rover to scoop up the remains of an ancient alien civilization on an exoplanet. In that game, all the alien objects you find will be automatically analyzed by a computer, but I was wondering how a real laboratory would handle matter of unknown origin.

So I spent a lot of time looking up various laboratory instruments and procedures, watching videos made by manufacturers and universities. I then put the things I’ve found interesting into the game.

I don’t know if I did a good job with this - I hope that I found a good balance between making things interesting and detailed, but still approachable and easy to understand in terms of gameplay.

This whole thing certainly was a journey - Thanks for all the responses I got when I was posting development updates for this project, this really is a very helpful and friendly community and I’m glad I joined this forum :slightly_smiling_face:

Wishlisted.

Game’s looking good!

This looks awesome! I love the premise, and that it appears to take a Half-Life-style turn for the worse :slight_smile:

Looking forward to trying it, and doing some terrestrial xenoscience.

Congratulations, nice job :slightly_smiling_face:

Yo your trailer is FIREEE! Congrats.
