Project Oasis

Project Oasis is a story-driven adventure set on Bluestar, a planet in the Promie galaxy that has stopped spinning. You play as ASTELL, who wakes in an underground city more than 3,000 years after falling into dormancy. After finding a star in a corridor, he becomes the Son of the Stars, a guardian said to be chosen every 3,000 years by the Star of Hope comet.

ASTELL and Mizi

ASTELL sets out to find his lost companions and partner, Garfield, while exploring the underground city for clues to his forgotten past. Messages reveal that a special reactor must inject energy into Bluestar’s core to restore the planet’s rotation. ASTELL meets Mizi, who was raised and educated by the artificial intelligence Yun and has never met others of his kind. The two unlock archives and obtain blueprints, but ASTELL initially refuses to let Mizi join him outside, choosing to search for the first reactor part himself.

During his explorations, ASTELL encounters shadow creatures and can choose whether to defend himself or interact with them. After solving puzzles and defeating a boss, he retrieves the part and returns wounded. Mizi then insists on accompanying him, and makes him a pair of glasses with interesting effects before their next expedition.

The reactor parts

As they explore, ASTELL and Mizi learn that Garfield uploaded his consciousness to a computer to stay with ASTELL for as long as possible. GARD AI, who has been speaking with them, is Garfield’s incarnation. They persuade GARD AI to open a door, take the wrong route and escape another boss’s pursuit, finding two more parts along the way. Someone else has reached the parts first, and the pair must bargain.

After resting for a few days, they set out for the mainframe’s core. Observation helps them solve its puzzles as they move through a series of rooms, uncovering the past of the Son of the Stars and the real purpose of Garfield’s reactor. They extract the hope that allows the Son of the Stars to heal wounds and use it to revive Bluestar’s cooled core. The final part is on the mainframe that houses Garfield’s consciousness. Garfield is glad to see ASTELL and considers Mizi a worthy partner, but warns that removing the part will activate the defenses. He tries to fight the mainframe, and the two win a difficult battle.

The final choice

At the building’s deepest level, you install all the parts and stand on a prepared platform to make a choice. The epilogue describes different routes leading to the same destination, with happiness for all and lingering questions. A second run offers a chance to search for answers about Yun, ASTELL’s 3,000-year sleep, the mysterious man, the boss’s motives and whether a truly happy ending is possible.
