Elea

Project Elea is a science fiction exploration adventure game for PC and XONE inspired by classical SF literature of the 20th century and the works of such writers as Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert, and Stanislaw Lem. The title was designed to VR headsets (e.g. Oculus Rift) and was developed by an independent Bulgarian studio, Kyodai Ltd., employing people, who previously worked on Assassin’s Creed: Rogue.

Plot

In the game, we assume the role of a space adventurer named Catherine “Elea” Jones who, during one of her travels, unexpectedly loses consciousness in her cabin. Having awakened, the protagonist discovers that the Pilgrimage II spaceship on the board of which she traveled has become completely deserted, while the artificial intelligence that governs it, Kazumi, is damaged. Wading through subsequent corridors, control rooms, and other parts of the ship, Elea has to find out what happened and outsmart the aforementioned AI that tries to take control of the ship in a rather aggressive manner. With progress, it will turn out that the entire affair has roots in the protagonist’s memories and her personal tragedy that she will eventually need to face.
