About This Game

CINERIS IV is a first-person psychological thriller set on a desolate deep-space outpost. Assuming the role of a lone Observer, players must operate complex analog machinery to find a new home for a dying Earth while battling the crushing weight of isolation.

The Thermohaline Circulation has collapsed, leaving Earth a frozen tomb. Humanity clings to life in underground bunkers, counting the days until their resources run out. They are waiting for one thing: Coordinates.

You are stationed on Cineris IV, a remote rock at the edge of the charted universe. Your mission is simple yet crushing: Find a habitable planet before time runs out. You are the sole operator of this remote outpost. With only a cold, sporadic voice from Mission Control to guide you, you must endure the absolute solitude. As the storms rage outside, you must focus on one thing: The Mission.

Gameplay

Link to Mission Control Use the station's heavy, industrial technology to analyze star data and report your findings. Maintain the machinery and keep the channel open; it is your only connection to humanity.

Atmospheric Psychological Horror Survival in Cineris IV is mental, not combat-based. Endure the oppressive atmosphere of an unforgiving planet where the environment itself is a threat. Navigate through hazardous weather conditions and maintain your life support, never quite knowing if the isolation is your only enemy.

Narrative-Driven Mystery Uncover a deep, unfolding narrative through environmental storytelling and fragmented logs. Every scan and every transmission brings you closer to understanding the true nature of your assignment on Cineris IV.
