GAIA BEYOND 1.6 – ENTER THE CADUCEUS

"HIRING: Pharma company with steep hierarchies but flat morals, seeks employees with flexible ethical standards. Your only friend is the paycheck."

Hey space pilots,

Our major update "Enter the Caduceus" is now available on Steam and allows you to experience the entire story from the perspective of the bad guys. It took us quite a while and a lot of work to realize these new decision branches (which ended up being much more complex than the original regular route) coming with 9 new main missions, so we want to celebrate this release properly and give away 8 keys!

Check the patch note for further details: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/788630/view/3149702438632550669

Good luck to all and safe space travels!

(If you can't wait or just don't trust your luck, there's also a current 30% discount on Steam for the next 20 hours).

To deliver a seamless and unique experience, we created our own engine - presenting a massive 2D Open World in realtime, with no loading times inbetween. Every part of the universe is alive and active at every moment.

THERE YOU ARE, HUMAN...

...at the face of a habitable planet way outside the Kuiper Belt, inquiringly gazing at the same stars as the rest of the living species. Everyone? Doesn’t look like we will ever find out.

The past is shadowed by war. Generations of humanity have fought on the edge of survival. First against themselves – until technology started to rise, created to serve their innate greed for dominance. During Earth times, self-inflicted catastrophies kept humanity struggling and finally forced the big departure. And yet, here they are. Split up all over the solar system, living separate realities under various conditions.

Everything is different – and actually nothing ever really changed. A new mindset of unity, awoken by the end of the Machine War, is facing hard times. Beneath the curtain of false peace and hope, bad blood had always remained. Old and new enemies are rising again and humanity will have to face its greatest trial, yet. Will you be part of mankind's downfall or guide the system into a brighter future?

It's in your hands.
