Closer Than Stars

Genre and premise

Closer Than Stars is a first-person psychological sci-fi horror game set aboard the JANUS-3 remote radio observatory in the Jovian system. You play as Owen, one of two operators working to monitor deep space for faint radio signals. The second operator, Rachel, is stationed at a remote node near Callisto, while you remain at G-Node near Ganymede.

Signal detection

You use the Signal Acquisition Module to scan the spectrum, tune frequencies, and isolate potential signals from the noise. Your role involves observing deep space, but as you become more immersed in your task, routine observations begin to feel less ordinary.
