On October 28, 1943, the first Philadelphia Experiment took place.
USS Eldridge, a Navy ship, by using experimental technology, was supposed to become invisible to radars; instead, it teleported into another dimension and returned moments later with no crew and showing severe signs of degradation.
Soon after, the experiment was recreated, but this time a space shuttle was sent into the void. It returned briefly after with all crew missing, signs of combat on the outer hull, and one note in the captain's log: "We were not the first ones here."
A few years passed, and a third attempt was made; this time, it was a custom ship built with space shuttle technology and a large crew. USS Eldridge Mark 2 stepped into the void and never returned.
Present day: a new attempt is now in progress, this time the new ship USS Eldridge Mark 3 is equipped with the latest modern technology, and YOU were selected to lead this expedition into the unknown horizon.
During this stage, you will use your astronaut squad to explore the void.
Gather exotic resources,
Drill asteroids for essential resources.
Encounter new alien lifeforms.
Uncover the secrets of an ancient civilization.
Uncover the mystery of previous void missions.
Salvage lost technology.
Survive in a hostile environment.
Think of USS Eldridge Mark 3 as your home; its maintenance can prove to be critical for your survival.
Build and upgrade turrets, searchlights, and the forcefield.
Use special Crystals you find in the void to upgrade the ship's efficiency.
Maintain the outer hull by repairing the ship's armor plates and removing any alien fungus growth.
Use external modules to re-arm your astronauts' battery, nitro, and ammunition supplies.
Manage your Atomics Silos.
Your presence in the void disturbs the natural order of things.
Your ship and astronauts are like juicy beacons for the hostile creatures that lurk in the shadows.
Defend your ship against waves of something that can only be described as Langoliers.
At first glance, this may seem like a glorified walking simulator, but don't underestimate the situation; everything you do here will have an impact on all layers of the game. You will decide your travel paths between asteroid fields, hostile creatures, toxic fog, corrosive steam, and parasitic fungi while being chased by a darkness spawned from the end of time.
Craft better equipment for your astronauts.
Research new technologies.
Heal your astronauts.
Train and level up your astronauts.
