Ariel

Ariel is a first- and third-person survival adventure set on Ariel, one of Uranus’ moons. You play as Ferdinand Ludec, a mathematician kidnapped and forced into a drama. After arriving on the moon, Professor Ludec finds the space station deserted and the crews of its first and second expeditions dead. His expertise in Electro Mono-Pole theory places him in an extreme situation that tests his endurance. Ariel is also the name of a black budget project funded by a mysterious group.

Survive on Ariel

You must manage hunger, dehydration, fatigue and mood while trying to avoid insanity. Dozens of items, enemies to hunt and survival skills are part of the effort to survive and escape the isolated moon. You manage resources through the station’s pressurized systems, including food and liquid processors, and can use different weapons and upgrades. Your interface displays internal stats so you can monitor your condition.

Explore the moon

Ariel is an open world with mysteries to explore. Its partially procedurally generated world, changing weather and environments that react to your decisions shape each journey. Different story endings give the game replayability.

Modes and atmosphere

You can play in first- or third-person mode, with different difficulty levels for experienced players. The sound design combines experimental and classical sounds in a science-fiction score shaped around the game’s atmosphere and story.
