The cosmic horror adventure puts players in an isolated mountain observatory, tending crops and cleaning by day and exploring a basement by night. At the time of writing, 98% of roughly 100 Steam user reviews are positive, giving it a Very Positive status.
The game places an intern at a mountain observatory where no one is waiting: no Professor Elias, no staff, only old equipment and an unfinished experiment system.
Daytime is survival work. Collect trash, clean stains, grow potatoes and tomatoes, keep the power running. Night sends players into a basement reachable only in the dark, flashlight in hand, following the professor's connection to the stars.
The early access build added a minigame on the observatory computer called PHOTON RUN and new events in the deepest corridor. The early access period is expected to last about six months, with polish, new mechanics, and content expansion planned. PlayWay also plans a price increase at the official release. It is 20% off at 920 yen including tax until November 10.
