Within the Cosmos is a single-player first-person sci-fi RPG.

Release Date: TBD

The year is 2278. Humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. As one of 500 members of the United Earth Space Agency (UESA), you were placed in cryogenic sleep and launched aboard a starship to the secluded Adallio star system. This hidden refuge, far from the devastating war consuming Earth, was humanity's last hope for survival.

But something went wrong. Your ship arrived generations later than planned. Upon awakening, you discover a fractured society. Humanity has splintered into various factions, each with its own politics, philosophies, and ambitions. To make matters worse, a mysterious and deadly android enemy has recently emerged, threatening the fragile peace.

Amidst the tension and turmoil, you must navigate this divided world, uniting (or further dividing) the factions and uncovering the truth behind the relentless android attacks. The future of humanity depends on your choices.

Features:

  • CREATE YOUR CHARACTER: With the ability to create your characters appearance, pick your attributes, and background, you can truly create a character that is your own.

  • ATTRIBUTES: Distribute your Attribute points to help set the base for your character. Want to solve things scientifically? Increase your intelligence! Want to make an agile, stealth oriented character? Increase your Agility! How about resolving potential issues through dialogue? Increase your Charisma!

  • SKILLS: As you level up, you'll get skill points which you can use across 11 skills to fine tune the character you created, allowing you to play as the character you want to play as. Want to pressure and scare people into giving you some information? Increase your Intimidate skill! Want to just fight people in hand-to-hand combat? Increase your Unarmed skill!

  • HACKING: Need to get somewhere that an enemy is guarding? Hack nearby electronics to cause a distraction, or to lure them into a trap. You can hack surveillance cameras to disable them and get past areas that they're guarding, hack terminals and computers to gather intel, and more.

  • PERKS: As you level up, you will also get access to perks, which will allow you to alter your play through in various ways.

  • SOFTWARE: During your time in the Adallio star system, you will come across Neural Interface Mods (NIMs), which, upon activation, will enable you to gain new abilities, like Cloak, and Time Dilation.

  • FACTIONS: Encounter factions with different ideals, beliefs, and morals. Join them, betray them, or destroy them. It's all up to you.

  • EXPLORATION: Explore hand-crafted planets in the Adallio star system. As you try to unwrap the mystery that has befallen you, you will make choices which will affect the way the story develops; along with how others perceive you, and end game scenarios.

  • CHOICES: There are always choices, and multiple approaches to complete objectives. Approach NPC's to try and extract information through dialogue, take the stealth approach, sneak behind them, or steal from them, or simply shoot through your enemies using a wide variety of weapons.

  • WEAPON CUSTOMISATION: Weapons can be upgraded, and customised to your liking. There are various attachments that you can use to easily customise the weapons to suit your play style.

Hi everyone! It's been quite some time since I posted here. I was forced to pause development for a while, I detailed the reasons for that on a community post on Steam, please check it out if you'd like to hear more about that. Regardless, I'm back working on this project and I'm in a better position to share with you all how the development of the game is going. I posted a new gameplay video today. It covers a bit of the planet known as Berith II, as well as its capital city, Chronos. I think the game looks quite a bit different from the previous gameplay video all those years ago. I hope you'll like the progress that I've made in it!

Thank you for your time!

Here is a screenshot of Chronos:

This sounds really cool! One thing I'd like to ask for is though, the ability to switch to third person view as well. I mean, what's the point of customizing your character's appearance if you can't even enjoy it? Just because Cyberpunk and The Outer Worlds did it, doesn't mean it has to become a staple, you know?

At the risk of sounding pushy, is there a possible release date in the near future? I am not trying to rush you, i am just really excited about the game. Thanks for all your time and effort!

Hey, no worries, It's fine!

I'm still working on it at the moment. I'm aiming for an Early November release date, but nothing is final yet. I'll update this once I have a firm release date!

Thank you so much for your interest, and understanding!
