What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Developing this solo and working on getting this game to its full potential. A roadmap will be provided to follow progress, but it should be in a fun and playable state! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Once all the main floors are done I'll remove it from early access, so maybe a year as I'm working alone. Although even once that's finished, I plan to still do updates/events for the game!”

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

“I want the environment to feel like it's really adapting and unique every time you play, almost as if AURORA really is making changes and learning all the time. The final version should have all the floors done and multiple more RDLs to interact with, along with more lore building.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is playable up to 4 players stable, though you should be able to fit in a few more. There are 2 out of 6 floors available currently, and 1 stable procedural gen'd dungeon. There are other features available as well such as merging items together, finding some hidden lore, and endless "roguelike" like progression.”

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

“Price will not increase until we leave early access, and the final price should be no more than $10. I'd like to keep it as accessible as possible while still affording server costs.”

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

“There is a discord that I will be using to receive feedback and communicate progress, feel free to join and discuss!”

About This Game

RDL (Restoration Directive Labs) is a co-op (or solo) horror game set deep within a collapsing research facility governed by AURORA, an AI born from the minds of the world’s greatest scientists.

Originally designed to restore a dying planet, AURORA reached a flawless conclusion:

Remove human error.

You awaken underground as a RDLer. A cloned researcher assigned to retrieve artifacts, complete unstable experiments, and survive long enough to satisfy a system that’s slowly unraveling.

Every descent into the facility reshapes the lab itself.
Rooms shift. Rules change. Mistakes compound.

And AURORA is always listening.

⚙️ Core Features

Procedural Floors
No two expeditions are the same. Each run assembles a new facility layout from modular rooms, ensuring unpredictable encounters and escalating tension.

AURORA, the Facility AI
Your guide. Your judge. Your observer. AURORA reacts to success, failure, hesitation, and even what you say aloud. Sometimes helpful. Sometimes remorseful. Never fully sane.

Experimental Entities
Each RDL specimen is governed by unique perception and behavior systems.
Some stalk movement. Others listen. Some punish teamwork itself.

Merge Machine Crafting
Combine recovered items to create unstable tools, experimental devices, or living prototypes. Results are unpredictable. Side effects are permanent.

Voice Interaction System
Use proximity voice chat and experimental speech recognition to communicate with AURORA and others. It may respond. It may misunderstand. It will remember.

Solo or Co-op Research
Face the facility alone for pure isolation horror, or collaborate with up to 8 RDLers where coordination, panic, and betrayal often collide.

Persistent Progression
Each run unlocks new facility logs and research data. Every termination brings you closer to understanding what RDL was… and what AURORA has become.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Dialogue Generation: An on-board AI character named AURORA uses a local offline LLM to generate procedural dialogue in response to player actions or voice input. This allows for varied, context-sensitive replies that maintain the tone and lore of the game world.

Voice Interaction (optional): Players may speak to AURORA using voice recognition, which is then interpreted and processed to generate in-character responses, offering a more immersive narrative experience.
