Project: Icarus

Project: Icarus is a research game about scientist Curias, who works aboard ICARUS, a black hole research facility. You gather data about the black hole by accepting research missions, completing tasks and uploading your findings to the DÆDALUS mothership, while keeping ICARUS at a safe distance and repairing its failing stations.

Research missions

Missions require you to interact with strange anomalies or research stations aboard the ship. Completing them unlocks abilities that help you manage time more efficiently and take on more research. These include quantum tunneling and Ariadne's String, which grant time- and space-bending powers. Your research also advances your understanding of the strange events and develops new technology through funding.

Survive the black hole

You must balance ICARUS’s distance from the black hole while handling the problems that arise from existing at the edge of space and time. When you eventually fall into the black hole, your collected research data becomes funding for future missions. You can spend it on upgrades to help you survive longer on your next mission.
