About This Game

Tachyonest is a space third-person shooter about going fast and developing your arsenal by stealing weapons from your dead enemies. Imagine if FTL: Faster Than Light was forcibly mashed with Quake, and that's Tachyonest.

You are the SS. Total Unit, designed to be the rogue Hivemind's perfect soldier. Unfortunately, you have gone rogue against the rogue AI for unknown reason, and have been deactivated and contained in a small cell.

This could never be enough to contain you.
