About This Game

What if solving a murder meant diving into the killer’s mind?

In Project Enceladus, a first-person sci-fi puzzle platformer, you play as Detective Darren, tasked with uncovering the truth behind a brutal massacre aboard a deep-space research station.

To do that, you’ll enter the mind of the man responsible — scientist Dr. Noah Valen — and explore his fractured psyche through a simulated reality constructed from memories, fears, and hidden truths.

Inside this simulation, nothing behaves as expected. Physics bends, logic warps, and the line between memory and invention blurs.

Key Features

Psychological Sci-Fi Mystery

Investigate the sealed mind of a murderer using experimental simulation tech.
Your job isn’t just to observe — it's to interact, question, and uncover. But be warned: the simulation reacts to you. It evolves. And not everything wants to be found.

Explore recorded memories, redacted logs, and environmental clues to reconstruct a hidden narrative that spans both the real and simulated worlds.

Telekinetic Puzzle Solving

Your most powerful tool? A remote manipulation energy provided by simulation.

Grab, move, rotate, and stack objects with precision — at range.
Solve puzzles by guiding energy cubes, redirecting power, and aligning components without touching a thing.

Perception-Based Logic Challenges

From switch puzzles to multi-state logic rooms, the game challenges you to think in systems.
You’ll route energy, control logic gates, activate hidden conditions — sometimes remotely, sometimes under pressure.

Some puzzles ask you to solve. Others ask you to observe.
The solution may not be in front of you — but above, behind, or hidden in plain sight.

Advanced Movement System

Navigate the simulation with agility and style using your traversal-enhanced suit:

• Dash past dangers or across collapsing floors

• Double jump for extended reach

• Climb and vault through vertical spaces

• Traverse environments built around rhythm, physics and timing

Your movement matters. It’s not just how you solve — it’s where you can go next.

Scan System – See What’s Hidden

Your integrated Scan Pulse reveals what's not immediately visible.

• Detect clues embedded in the walls

• Highlight interactive objects

• Reveal hidden inputs or power lines

• Track connections across rooms

• Discover temperature zones

Some secrets simply won’t show themselves without it.

Remote Drone Control

Your deployable drone gives you eyes and access where you can’t follow.

• Fly through vents and maintenance shafts

• Trigger pressure pads or switches

• Observe puzzles from alternate angles

• Navigate hostile or unstable areas

Some rooms are designed for two — you and the drone.

Narrative-Driven Puzzle Progression

Every puzzle is part of something larger.

Each is tied to a Clue Thread — a narrative arc in the mind of Dr. Noah Valen.
Some puzzles are required. Others are hidden, optional… and sometimes don’t want to be found.

Optional challenge rooms represent Noah’s subconscious — raw, unstable fragments of his mind.
Here, puzzles are symbolic, harder, and offer deeper insight into the truth he’s trying to bury.

Surreal Sci-Fi Environments

From sterile chambers to warped halls swallowed by shadow, no two areas look or feel alike.

• Environments constructed from memories, emotion, and trauma

• Lighting and architecture that tell the story without a word

• Areas that change as you complete objectives

• A sense of isolation, discovery — and wrongness — that builds constantly

As you progress deeper into the simulation, reality begins to fracture.

Spaces twist, logic breaks, and the world around you becomes a reflection of a mind unraveling.

Built to Reach Players

Project Enceladus is designed with performance and accessibility in mind.
From large open hangars to tight interior puzzles, our systems are optimized to ensure smooth gameplay across a wide range of hardware.

• Fully compatible with Steam Deck

• Runs efficiently on mid-range PCs

• Full controller support

We believe puzzle games should feel as smooth as they are smart.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

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

Yes, the game uses generative AI for voiceovers. Character voices were created using Replica Studios during development, but no real-time AI generation occurs during gameplay.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains themes of crime and murder, but no direct depictions of extreme violence. Some scenes may feature blood or brief flashbacks related to past events. The overall atmosphere is dark and suspenseful, with psychological thriller elements.
