Plot The game follows a scientist on a trip to another planet that is thought to be filled with lifeforms. The mission is a failure as the ship is lost in the crash, the protagonist is unable to locate other crew members, and the planet turns out to be an enormous wasteland completely devoid of life; however, among the vast emptiness is a derelict Soviet Union science outpost constructed on the planet. The game follows the scientist as he explores the planet and figures out how the Soviets managed to travel to the planet, and why the outpost is now empty.
