About This Game

Ariel is a First/Third person survival experience, story based, Sci-Fi adventure.

Be ready to experience a unique survival adventure as Ferdinand Ludec, a mathematician who is suddenly kidnapped and forced into a drama. Professor Ludec arrives in Ariel, one of Uranus' moons, only to find an entire crew of scientists dead. He is an expert in Electro Mono-Pole theory, and somehow, this knowledge puts him in an extreme situation which will test his inner endurance. Ariel is the name of a black budget project funded by a mysterious group of men. The space station is desolated; all the crew members from the first and second expeditions are dead; you find yourself alone.

With a partially procedural generated world, along with different endings to the story, Ariel takes into account the re-playability as one of its assets. Hunger, getting tired and avoiding insanity will only be some of the threats to face.
