Neoproxima

Neoproxima is a text-based adventure set in 1975, in an alternate history where humanity can travel to the stars thanks to a mysterious alien civilization. As Farah, leader of a team of treasure hunters, you are trapped in a time loop after pressing the wrong button. Explore Kairos' Colony and its surroundings, meet its inhabitants and search for a way out.

A time-loop mystery

Each day gives you a limited amount of time and willpower to look for clues, so you choose an objective for each loop. Death is not absolute: you can take risks, die and try again, learning how the loop works and unlocking perks that make your task easier. The story asks who the aliens were and why they gave humanity interstellar travel, and whether the loop is an industrial accident or a sign of something darker.

The Cold War has expanded into space, where old and new powers seek the remains of alien technology. Scientists study artifacts with 1970s-era computers. As you investigate the mystery, the game explores time, entropy, the finite universe, the trauma of being trapped and the value of memories as your closest friends slowly lose theirs.

Explore and investigate

You drive a small truck across a 3D isometric map, exploring the colony, meeting colorful characters and investigating intriguing ruins. Time-based puzzles reward learning how each loop works. You also meet other colonists and can use their help to succeed.

RPG mechanics

The game combines text adventures and exploration with inventory management, dice rolls, hit points and simple survival mechanics. Character stats affect your dice rolls, while items can improve your odds.
