Outreach

Exploring an abandoned Soviet space station

- Andy Kelly

You, a lone Soviet cosmonaut, are sent to investigate a communications blackout on a space station. When you arrive the place is falling apart, the crew is missing, and it’s up to you to find out what happened to the station and the workers aboard it. Set in the ’80s, Outreach fuses real-world history with conspiracy theories. The environments are realistic, modelled on Russia’s famous Mir space station, meaning there’s no technology that didn’t exist at the time. Developer Pixel Spill spent months researching the era, and it shows. Everything from computer consoles to clothing has a feel of authenticity. It’s like stepping back in time.
