Mi-Clos Studio has announced the sequel to their award-winning space exploration game Out There: Ω Edition, developed in collaboration with indie game publisher Modern Wolf. Retaining the core mechanics of the original game (roguelike, resource management and interactive fiction), Out There: Oceans of Time now delivers them in a much more ambitious manner, offering completely new features.
In a far-flung corner of the universe where humans are a disdained minority, you were entrusted with transporting the most dangerous being alive to an impregnable prison – and it escaped. Now you must lead a team of explorers, misfits and bounty hunters on a galaxy-spanning mission of redemption to find the Archon and recapture it before it is too late.
Features:
- Explore a vast 3D universe that’s different every time you play.
- Meet strange alien beings and learn to communicate, trade and conduct diplomacy with them as you build a coalition of allies in your quest to find the Archon.
- Manage your crew and officers, recruiting new members from the alien races you encounter.
- Find and salvage new ships to commandeer for your missions.
- Lead your away teams on daring expeditions to probe derelict spaceships, ancient cities and desolate planets to learn their secrets.
- Upgrade and maintain your ship, managing scarce resources that can be replenished through trade or planetary exploration.
- Weave your way through an epic branching narrative with multiple endings told through interactive cel-shaded cutscenes written by FibreTigre and illustrated by renowned artist Benjamin Carré (Transformers: Age of Extinction, Alone in the Dark).
- Captivating music composed by Siddhartha Barnhoorn (Antichamber, Out There).
Out There: Oceans of Time will thrill fans of the previous game, however, this new edition is a stand-alone story in the Out There saga so you don’t need to have played the original to love this sequel.
Explore a vast semi-procedural universe as you and your hand-picked crew of aliens and humans race to stop the legendary alien menace who escaped on your watch. Out There: Oceans of Time is an epic space opera blending sci-fi interactive fiction, strategy and survival – unlike anything you’ve played before.
Out There: Oceans of Time is planned for release in 2020 on PC, mobile and consoles. Wishlist the game on Steam, or visit the Mi-Clos Studio website to learn more about the Out There series, and their complete range of games.
