Pale Gravity

A hard sci-fi survival adventure set on an alien world where every living thing follows unfamiliar biological rules. You are one of the survivors of a catastrophic deep-space vessel failure after the colony transport ship Khepri suffers massive structural damage in orbit above an uncharted planet. Escape pods scatter across continents, oceans, fungal forests, and living ecosystems no human has studied before. The planet is beautiful, hostile, intelligent in ways humanity barely understands, and completely indifferent to your survival. Food may heal you or alter you. Creatures may hunt through symbiosis instead of predation. Entire landscapes may behave like organisms. The environment itself evolves around intrusion. You must survive for months with limited equipment, dwindling supplies, fractured survivors, and no guarantee rescue will ever arrive. Find shelter. Learn the ecosystem. Discover what happened to the ship. Locate survivors — dead or alive. Build tools, signals, alliances, and theories. Decide whether escape is even possible. The planet does not explain itself. — My second scenario, hope you enjoy it! Inspired heavily by concepts of planetary survival leading to atmospheric tones, adaptation, dependency and loneliness. Inspired conceptually by Scavenger's Reign, Subnautica, and Fantastic Planet — Updates: - Better pacing. The AI was too quick to push other survivors on you previously. - Better alien ecosystem. The AI was too quick to generate Ewoks otherwise. - Better description of atmosphere of planet. — Installed Inner-self - just in case you do happen to meet someone there!
