Freezing cryogel cables hiss as they retract into the sides of your cryopod. As you wake with a chemical-induced headache, the lid of your pod pops open letting warm and oddly humid air rushing into your nose. You smell... foliage? A holoscreen blinkers on above your face, shining purple data scrolling down, making you flinch as the light pierces your still blurred vision. Blinking away gel, you read the info... 342 years!!? You punch the screen with your fingers requesting a recalc but the data remains the same. You've been locked in cryo for 342years! And what are these bizarre objects apparently arranged in orbit around this alien planet? Genesis (noun: the origin or beginning of something) and Exo (prefix: outside, alien) Exogenesis is a survival exploration game of the 4X style. The Exosurvey ship Cygnus X2 on route to Proxima Centauri is subverted by an alien digital virus that causes the ship to crash on an alien world. As surviving officers onboard, the players must work together to survive, then to explore and lastly to decide whether to repair the ship and leave or uncover the mystery that brought them to this world. Exogenesis is a tough game with powerful protagonists. Failure to prioritise and work diplomatically with each other will lead to failure, and death for the crew. You have been warned. —description from the publisher
