Our take on A Day In Space
The defining detail is the one-day structure: ordinary colony duties and conversations gradually reveal what happened to the crew aboard the station.
What is A Day In Space?
Spend a day aboard Space Colony I, a space station sent to establish a human settlement on Planet Omega in 2040.
This short, first-person interactive exploration game combines routine activities with conversations and investigation. Explore the large station, carry out daily tasks, and speak with fellow colonists to learn about their personal stories. As the experience progresses, gather clues about the reasons for humanity’s first space colonisation effort and the deaths of crewmates aboard the station. The game centers on moving through the colony, engaging with its inhabitants, and assembling information about what happened to the crew.
