Here is an overview of the game, via DON’T NOD:
About
Astronaut Ariane is trapped on a freezing planet and faces a dangerous journey to save her injured teammate, Thomas. This thrilling sci-fi game combines exploring a harsh environment, navigating tricky terrain, and using stealth to avoid danger.
A Science-Fiction Action Adventure on the Edge of Our Solar System
Scientists predict Earth will become uninhabitable by 2060. Our best chance for survival lies with Persephone, a newly discovered planet on the far reaches of our solar system. The European Space Agency is sending astronauts Ariane and Thomas on the Hope 01 mission to explore Persephone and see if it could become a new home for humanity.
The story starts with a crash. When their ship goes down, the crew is scattered across the planet, and they must desperately search for each other.
Aphelion is an action-packed adventure game with a cinematic feel, set on Persephone, a mysterious and frozen planet. You’re stranded there, and must work to survive the dangers of this unknown world, reunite with others, and finish your mission. Explore beautiful, alien environments, evade hidden threats, and uncover the chilling secrets hidden under the ice.
Explore an Uncharted Planet
Discover Persephone, a stunning but dangerous frozen world where the landscape and weather are constantly shifting.
Okay, so basically, you’re dropped into this crazy world with just your gear – a pathfinder, oxygen tank, grappling hook, the usual – and you have to figure out what’s going on. It’s all about exploring dangerous places, finding clues, and trying to survive this weird, reality-warping thing that’s happening. It’s pretty intense, honestly!
Find Each Other
Man, things are rough out here on the edge of the solar system. We’re the crew of the Hope 01, and this new planet is throwing everything it has at us. Plus, there’s a lot of baggage from our pasts haunting us. Me and my teammate, Ariane, we have a history, a really complicated one that never quite got resolved because of work and, well, this mission. Now, with everything falling apart, that connection is honestly the only thing keeping me going. We’re both just trying to find each other in the darkness and hold on.
Hide to Survive
You’re not alone. Something lurks beneath the ice.
