The Persistence

The Persistence casts you as a clone of Zimri Eder, a security officer aboard a doomed deep-space colony ship overrun by murderous aberrations. As the last survivor, you must restore the ship’s functionality and find a way back to Earth.

Explore the ship

A malfunction in the ship’s macrostructure periodically changes the layout of its decks, making each expedition different. You navigate the shifting labyrinth and use darkness and cover to avoid its inhabitants. Move stealthily, attack from the shadows and use your personal shield to deflect counterattacks.

Gather and upgrade

You harvest DNA to improve your health, toughness and defensive capabilities. You can also find materials and schematics for weapon upgrades and suit customizations with perks.

When Zimri dies, her consciousness is uploaded into a new cloned body. Upgraded stats, suits and weapon schematics carry over to the next attempt.

Asymmetric multiplayer

A second player can connect an iOS or Android phone or tablet to take control of Solex, the ship’s engineering system. Solex can lure creatures, open doors and disable the ship’s internal security defenses in real time.

Enhanced and VR features

The Persistence Enhanced adds improved lighting and particle effects, user-interface refinements, and DXR ray tracing for supported graphics cards, as well as NVIDIA DLSS. The game supports VR headsets with tailored control settings and comfort options for VR and non-VR play; motion controls are not supported.
