Our take on Interkosmos
Its defining feature is the cockpit: survival depends on physically operating a 1970s capsule's equipment while multiple failures develop during the return to Earth.
What is Interkosmos?
Interkosmos is a VR adventure set inside Zvezda, an experimental 1970s space capsule.
Players operate the cockpit, follow procedures, balance power and life-support systems, and respond to failures that can spread during re-entry. The game combines a Cold War setting with a comedic, professionally voiced narrative. Its story includes branching routes, multiple possible endings, and unpredictable events that alter individual flights. Retro visuals and sound design support the capsule setting, while the central challenge is coordinating several tasks under pressure before attempting to land safely.
