CHARGE Game Studio is an indie video game developer. The games are made in Unreal Engine 4. Atria-1 is one of the games, developed by the studio. It is a dark Sci-Fi action thriller, a first-person walking simulator. The story takes place in the future, where, among global cataclysms, Russia once again becomes a monarchical state and is the first to send the colonists into space. The year is 2124. You play as Boris Ozerov, an engineer. Your mission is to get to a potentially habitable exoplanet.
You will have to eliminate a series of failures not only on board, but also in your own head: memory blackouts, recollection mirages, and strange visions. And don’t forget, all ship resources are running low: movement capability, air, energy, freedom, and common sense as well. Weapons are not gonna help. You got only light, synthetic stimulators, and the remnants of faith in reality to rely on. All that is left is to be cautious and quiet, trying to listen closely… so what is Atria telling you? Depending on the mental state of the character, the locations of the ship change. The game is now available on Steam.
