Reviews

“It fuses it’s retro presentation with modern horror sensibilities to great effect, managing to create an unbearably eerie and tense gaming experience that I never thought possible considering it’s graphical limitations.”
Highly Recommended – Lou's Reviews

“It’s livened up by the way you get around, which is like a 2D version of Dead Space – a quick tap of the spacebar launches you directly upwards, and automatically rotates you round to reorient yourself upright on the ‘ceiling’. It’s a simple thing but brings the setting to life, and is mildly fun to do. It’s also a useful tool for avoiding and tricking the nasties that your arrival draws out. Of course something terrible happened on board, and you have to figure out what by reading diaries and logs, and questioning the half-helpful, half-suspicious ship AI. While this is obvious to us, the characters can’t really know until they’re on board, and this is where Cosmonaut excels.”

About This Game

COSMONAUT is an immersive story-driven horror platformer set two centuries in our future. Suit up as Jarobi, a green DSR (deep space reconnaissance) contractor tasked with boarding the S-class research vessel, Diogenes. Lost 80 years prior in the vast Kuiper Belt, the vessel has become an iconic symbol of humanity's early manned voyages to the outer solar system. The ship is for the taking, but at what cost?

Creatively explore a decrepit futuristic environment via unique movement mechanics, free from gravity using any surface you choose. Survive the dangers of deep space habitation through various puzzles and challenges. Arm yourself and choose to merely defend against, or fully exterminate foes of both extraterrestrial and artificial origin. Put your psychological resolve to the test and become the first to unravel the mysteries surrounding the lost Diogenes vessel.
