In Dead In Antares, lead a crew of ten playable highly-trained specialists sent into deep space as humanity’s last hope. Tasked with finding new resources that could save Earth from deadly catastrophe, your ship is swallowed by a mysterious wormhole and subsequently crash lands on an unknown planet in the Antares System.
You can’t save Earth with ten dead crew. The mission has changed. Now, it’s about survival.
With deep systemic gameplay, you’ll manage every aspect of your crew and technology. Each system is interconnected, from food, water, exhaustion, and mental health, to the relationships within the crew. You must make the most of every resource at your disposal. Optimize energy, assign tasks, repair your tech, and carefully navigate survival management mechanics that are pushed to their limits. In this volatile situation, every choice you make can bring you one step closer to survival or disaster.
In 2025, experience a story with surprising twists, breathtaking environments, and ten playable characters each with their own skills, pasts, ambitions, and secrets. Uncover their stories, manage their relationships, and know that your choices will shape friendships, rivalries, and even betrayals, ultimately determining the fate of your crew and unlocking one of multiple endings.
