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.

I'm not done with it. I've done 7 chapters, and so far, it is a lovely and fun game I trully enjoy! It couldn't be more obvious that it is both inspired by and made in the spirit of Bioshock, and it trully does that without shame. Some parts might be a bit too similar, but in general, it has my stamp of approval for trying to be like Bioshock. Highly recommend everyone to have a go at this game!
This matches games like Beyond a Steel Sky, only it's steampunk and horror. The visuals are great, and the story is captivating. My only disappointment is it doesn't have any replay value.
like most of these action walking simulator games they are only payable once and you play them primarily for the experience. this game has great graphics, good voice acting, audio is good and even better if you use headset, the story starts out really really interesting but ends with a meh at the end, could had been better, a lot is left wihout answers. there is also not much to explore it is more of a one way path wih a few extra rooms here and there, find the key/clue to be able to access them. all in all I enjoyed my time playing this game but the ending was weak and so was the story at the end. I gave this game a 4/5 star bc I am not hard to please and the begginning and middle had me glued to the computer screen.
