Description
It’s 1897. Deep in international waters, the Helios stands still. Dark clouds loom overhead as unforgiving waves crash against the hull. Colossal effigies of gold, decorated with magnificent finery, stretch as far as the eye can see.
Born of Nikola Tesla’s vision, the Helios serves as a haven for the greatest scientific minds. An unbound utopia for research, independent from state and isolated from the gaze of society. Free to push the boundaries of matter and time.
Journalist Rose Archer steps aboard the Helios in search of her sister Ada. She quickly discovers not all is as it seems. Grand halls stand empty. The stench of rotting flesh lingers in the air. Silence. A single word is painted across the entrance… QUARANTINE!
Experience a second era of scientific enlightenment, where the mind and inventions of the great Nikola Tesla have shaped the 19th century
Step aboard the Helios - Explore the colossal and mysterious vessel of scientific discovery, a safe haven for scientific progress, away from the threat of corporate espionage
Use your wits to guide Rose on her journey to find her sister Ada, overcome dangers unknown to understand the fate of the Helios and its inhabitants
Solve challenging puzzles to progress through the game and unlock secret areas
Search every corner to uncover hidden collectables and discover the history and secrets of Wardenclyffe and its workers
Explore a visually stunning environment Built in Unreal Engine™ 4

completely incomplete
I got the game on my epic account, one of the worst games i ever played in my life. I appreciated the story and its development up to a point but overall, the game is very bad. Cant believe GoG has put the price of 19.99 on this. Total Garbage....

Don't support this sort of laziness
I'm sick and tired of seeing games to which devs were either too lazy or too stupid to add standard, expected user experience features. The most common fly in the ointment is the lack of key mappings. These guys apparently think that the only keyboard layout in the world is QWERTY, and the only sensible mapping for a single-player game is WASD. So they assumed that they didn't need to add key rebinding, a feature found in practically every game of this kind. When you're using a different layout or language, this leaves you out in the cold. So don't buy this game. Just my two cents.
