+8 For more details, read the description of Haunted Space always taken from the Steam page of the game:
HAUNTED SPACE - RAIDERS OF THE SONIC MATTER is a single-player space simulator in which sci-fi and horror mingle in an adventure based on exploration, combat, trading and upgrading of your own ship, with innovative gameplay elements and never-before-seen space creatures before.
A game set in a remote space, in the distant galaxy Neterun, where the precious Sonic Matter is found. A space formerly dominated by the mighty Neterunian civilization, now gone, but actually still present in the form of spirits, whose souls have reassembled themselves as frightening creatures composed of space debris and organic matter.
A spectacular visual sector that, if your graphics card supports it, uses Ray Tracing in sidereal space in a completely new way.
The audio is immersive and binaural, with the climax points underlined by pressing or poignant music.
Death is "almost" permanent. In fact, sometimes, you can decide yourself to face a certain mission by filling the hold of your ship with explosives and making yourself explode inside your target, then recovering the "backup" of your soul in the space station where you were previously docked.
10 systems and lots of quests for each of them, in which you can freely decide what to do and what will be your destiny as a predator of Sonic Matter.
Thanks to the Co-Pilot, you can choose how much control to have of the spaceship: total, for a complete simulation in all its parts, up to simplified, for a more immediate gameplay in which artificial intelligences accompany us in the various phases of the game. Up to making it completely accessible to disabled and blind people, supporting the Eye Gaze and AudioGame technologies.
