What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Dark Adaption will be released as an Early Access title, so that we can collect feedback, and steer the development in the direction that the community suggests.

The game is still in early development, so there is still a lot of potential to change the direction of new features.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to release Dark Adaption in Q1 of 2024.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In the final version of Dark Adaption, we plan to have this additional content:

  • Different Mining Ships: Board mining ships of all 4 mining cooperations. Each cooperation has it's own visual style, from the high-tech mining barks of SoCom Industries, to the dirty and practical ships of the former arms dealer family business Hofer & Sons.
  • Different Alien Species: We plan to have several distinct alien species, each with it's own unique visual style, behaviour and special abilities.
  • Ranking System and Achievements: Climb the ranks of SHO from Private to Captain, by getting Steam Achievements.
  • Collect Trophies: Collect trophies from all the aliens you identified and captured, and put them on display in your Lobby, for all other players to see.
  • Solve tasks on mining ships: Besides identifying and capturing the alien, we plan to have several additional tasks, like finding the captain's log, and activating the main power on the ship.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the game has:
  • 1 alien species to hunt.
  • 1 mining ship to board.
  • Each alien can have up to 6 unique traits, that the players need to identify.
  • 5 players can play together in co-op.
”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price for the full release will be about 25% higher than the early access price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“At the heart of our community will be our discord server. We also have various social media accounts and we listen carefully to everything that the players are sharing with us.”

About This Game

Dark Adaption is a 5 player co-op scifi horror game.

You and your team board a mining ship in distress, to identify and capture the alien organism, that has entered the ship, and has brought all mining operations to a halt.

You need to work together to identify the alien's unique traits, so that you can produce an effective tranquilizer and capture the alien.

You are a part of SHO - Space Hauler Operations: A task force brought to life by the Big 4 - the four big asteroid mining cooperations. As part of SHO, your job is to ensure the safety of all mining operations.

Use the tools your advanced tech suite and HUD provide to your advantage, manage resources like O2 and energy, and hack into surveillance cameras of the mining ship, to track down the alien organism, and identify it's unique combination of traits.

  • Coop Multiplayer: Work together with your crew mates to get rid of the alien intruder.
  • Realistic Space Environment: Manage your oxygen supply, your battery, and use all the advanced tech of your space suite to your advantage.
  • Clever Alien Opponent: The alien uses a custom Utility AI, making it's decisions interesting and challenging. It has several behaviours and
    choses the most optimal one based on 8 different stats.
  • Track & Observe: Track the alien down, observe it's behaviour, and find clues that hint at it's traits. When you have enough information,
    synthesize a tranquilizer - if you identified the correct traits, the alien will be paralyzed and you can capture it. Using the wrong tranquilizer will
    increase it's rage, and make any further attempts more challenging!
