To do so, they must explore the station and find orbs that are used to activate certain doors, allowing them to progress further into the game.
[5] The player acquires a hand-held cloning tool early in the game through which they solve puzzles to collect orbs.
This allows the player to complete complex steps to activate doors and switches as to acquire the orbs.
Later levels include sections of the station where gravity has been reversed, increasing the difficulty of the puzzles.
[5] Humanity has exhausted its natural resources, and seven remote outposts are established in distant space to extract and synthesize useful materials from their neighbouring planets, to send back to Earth.
When the crew of Theseus explore an uninhabitable desert planet called Chori V, with abundant natural mineral deposits, they find a more durable steel amalgam, an alien life form similar to Earth's silkworm, and highly complex rock formations of unknown origin.
The rocks display unusual electro-chemical activity, leading some to believe they may possess rudimentary intelligence.
She believes she can use the swapper directly on the transplanted brains, and swap the person's consciousness into a body, prolonging their life.
The first Watcher to be found mysteriously resembles the shape of a human face, with eyes, a nose, a mouth and ornately carved decorations.
The player, a Scavenger, arrives at the station via an escape pod and hears a woman on the radio who alternates between berating them and asking for their assistance.
Eventually the Scavenger is told by the woman to use the Swapper on the Head Watcher to prevent further deaths, but appears to quickly change her mind and instructs them to instead detach the Solar panels so that the station can land on the planet below.
To survive, Dennet and Chalmers transferred their consciousness into brains on life-support within a sealed section of the ship in order to await rescue for decades.
Left with few options, since the other Scavenger's ship is broken and the Watchers will consume them in the now-unprotected ship section within hours and the rescue team will take one day to arrive, Chalmers suggested swapping minds with the other Scavenger to find a solution.
The consciousness of the other Scavenger, fed up with their arguing, uses the Swapper on the Head Watcher and her body appears to die.
The Swapper was a project made by two University of Helsinki students Otto Hantula and Olli Harjola in their spare time.
[8] Curve Studios later announced that they will bring the game to Wii U, the graphical capability will be on par with PC version.
