Irreversible

From the Devs

The World

The year is 1989. Three decades have passed since the onset of "Global Isolation," triggered by an anomalous incident in the Mediterranean Sea. In this time, the world has transformed beyond recognition. All connections between continents have been severed, and shifting boundaries known as "running lines" gradually consume the land year after year. Nations grapple with profound social, ecological, migration, and food crises. To mitigate logistical challenges, a network of orbital stations has been constructed for intercontinental transport and storage of biome-specific resources.

Your Role

You are a junior technical specialist recently arrived at an orbital station. You possess no extraordinary skills—just an individual trying to escape debt, willing to take on any assigned task. However, due to an orbital accident, you find yourself stranded in an unknown desert.

The Power of Communication

Though you're isolated, you're not entirely alone. Your only lifeline is Anna, another survivor of the crash. Together, you must coordinate and solve the problems you face, relying solely on dialogue and shared decision-making. Your conversations with Anna form the backbone of your journey, and through these exchanges, you’ll gradually piece together what happened—and how to survive.

Face a World of Unpredictable Hazards

The desert is more than just an expanse of sand. This alien environment teems with strange anomalies—phenomena that defy the laws of physics and nature. These anomalies come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and behaviors, from gravitational distortions to space-bending effects. Each new discovery forces you to think on your feet, using your limited tools and resources to push forward and overcome the challenges in your path. Exploration is key, but it’s not without risk.

Survive Against the Odds

While the anomalies are dangerous, they aren’t the only threat. The desert is home to unique insectoid creatures that have adapted to the harsh climate. These creatures fiercely protect their territory, hunting for food and eliminating anything that threatens their survival—including you. Your actions must be careful and your behavior vigilant, especially at night and in shadowy areas, if you hope to stay alive.

Unique features:

• Immerse yourself in a narrative-driven experience where every step reveals more about the world, the characters, and the mysterious events surrounding the crash.

• You can contact Anna whenever you stumble upon something intriguing - be it a strange anomaly or a new location. With multiple dialogue options at your disposal, you'll find conversations more engaging and dynamic.

• Resource management and survival instincts are crucial. Gather tools, salvage supplies, and make critical decisions that affect your chances of survival.

• Craft essential tools and upgrade your weapons using unique crafting systems, enhancing your chances of survival.

• Combat is grounded in realism. You'll interact with weapons in a tactile, detailed way, requiring careful reloading, aiming, and precision. Limited ammo and worn-out equipment add to the tension, making every shot count.

• The game’s desert setting is more than just a barren wasteland. It’s a living, breathing world filled with strange sights, unexplained phenomena, and eerie beauty. The environment reacts to your presence, enhancing immersion through visual storytelling.

• The game is divided into days. At the start of each day, the player receives a mission and has time to prepare before venturing into the open world to explore.

• Interact with anomalies in creative ways. These phenomena can alter time, gravity, and even the physical laws of nature. Use the tools at your disposal to manipulate them to your advantage.

• The desert holds more than just dangers—it’s full of hidden puzzles that challenge your problem-solving skills. Some puzzles are tied to anomalies, while others are environmental. Solving them reveals more of the world’s mysteries, unlocking new areas to explore and items to use.
