You are the last human alive on an abandoned space station named Aphelion with only an AI companion to guide you. Armed with a pair of manipulation gloves, you will have to manipulate the scale and energy of objects to solve puzzles and make your way around Aphelion to escape its certain destruction.

Gameplay

Explore an environment that combines retro sci-fi with modern sensibilities.

Use your abilities to scale objects up and down and revert energy from one power source to another.

Along your journey, the fully-voiced AI will accompany you and provide useful tips and insights into the station's history.

Aphelion is a 3D VR exploration game made using Unreal Engine 4. It is being developed by a group of second-year students as their vertical slice project.
