Aphotic is a survival horror game where players take on the roles of abductees on a massive alien ship that has now crashed on another world. The players are most definitely not alone on this vessel, other beings, both their captors and other abductees from other worlds are now loose. How they react to the players is unknown, the captors may not be overly friendly to their experiments getting loose though. Then again, they may be busy as well, why did the ship crash? Mechanical failure, accidental, enemy fire, incompetence? The players begin with nothing, along the way they may find resources, weapons, or allies. What is their goals? What will they do? Assist their captors in repairing the ship? Take it over?
