Story
You wake up in complete darkness. Oxygen is critically low. To stay sane, you recall the events of the past few days…
Not long ago, you worked at a mountain observatory, studying a mysterious signal from a distant star. The signal contained a sequence of prime numbers, decreasing each day. Is it a countdown? What happens when it reaches zero?
Uncover the mystery of the signal, make contact with an alien intelligence, and save the one you love.
