Event Horizon Inc.

Salvage around a black hole

Event Horizon Inc. is a PC space salvage game about recovering valuable wreckage from the orbit of a black hole. Two motherships have collided, leaving debris in fields that slowly sink toward the hole. A salvage company sends you from its mothership in a tug to retrieve what you can before the wreckage is lost.

Time runs slower closer to the black hole. A dive that takes the tug’s crew fifteen minutes can cost the mothership days, and after a few dives it leaves, whether or not you’re back aboard. Overtime is counted by the mothership’s clock.
