Pilgrim: Descent Protocol

A new game from EMG is headed to Steam Early Access.

Planet Dwarvuk has been deemed unworthy by its own AI, which has summoned an ancient alien race to erase the world. Silence the signal before the destroyers arrive, or watch Dwarvuk fall.

Sci-fi exploration meets cosmic horror survival with hoverbike traversal and relay runs. Scavenge resources, stabilize and deliver plasma cores, manage oxygen and fuel, and either race the clock or explore at your own pace.

You can play Pilgrim: Descent Protocol on itch now, free, while I get the Steam Early Access build ready.
