The Voidness

The Voidness is a science-fiction psychological survival horror game about space specialist Francesca Lee, who is sent to study a mysterious, dark void on a newly founded planet. After the mission goes wrong, you explore the void, try to escape and uncover what happened to your crewmates. Something else is there with you, and you can only see it by scanning.

Scan the void

Your range-finder device uses LIDAR to reveal the environment in darkness. You can scan freely, mark landmarks and paths, and activate scanning turrets to help locate features around you. Find upgrades that improve the scanner, including its ability to scan vertically and horizontally and to cover a larger area. Everything can be scanned.

Evade what lurks

The enemies roam the void, listen for sounds and can see you. Watch your footsteps: broken glass, moving crates and knocking objects over can reveal your position, while debris can also make noise. Use stamina carefully, move quietly, peek around corners and hide under tables when needed. Enemies do not tire, so you cannot outrun them.

When you are hiding, enemies can hear your breathing through your microphone. This optional feature applies only while hiding. Stay quiet to avoid being found.

Puzzles and survival

The level-based story combines objectives, clues, puzzles and mysteries. You interact with objects for useful items and tips, find supplies, upgrades and health packs, and manage them in an inventory. Save points and certain autosaves preserve your progress.
