About
Four billion kilometers from home, your survey vessel AURORA hears a signal — clean, patterned, and coming from a place the charts say is empty. It isn't noise. It isn't a weapon. Something out there has been waiting a very long time, and it just noticed us.
You are Deepwatch, humanity's deep-space mission control. Across three acts you'll:
• DECODE the signal — pull meaning out of static, one prime number at a time.
• COORDINATE under pressure — keep your ship and crew safe when contact gets dangerous.
• DEDUCE the truth — and decide, word by word, what humanity says back.
Play solo as Flight Director with a full crew of characters at the consoles — or link up with friends by share-code and each take a station. You only win by talking to each other.
A story-rich, hopeful adventure about patience, listening, and what it means to answer someone in the dark. No violence. No gore. No profanity. Just the vastness — and a friend in it, if you're brave enough to say hello.
Five endings. One question from the dark: Will you remember us?
