Our take on THE DARK SIDE OF CECLON
Players may bounce off the premise when the shuttle crash leaves Jensen as the only survivor on CECLON. Those seeking party-based play or a populated human setting will meet that mismatch at the start of the survival scenario.
What is THE DARK SIDE OF CECLON?
In 2452, Jensen is the only person left alive after the Nexentia shuttle goes down on CECLON, a planet in galaxy 732.
The Z-One expedition had arrived to retrieve Veka energy, a resource that can provide power and be used to make water and synthetic food. When Z-One stopped communicating, the Z-Two team set out to assist. An asteroid shower damaged its shuttle, which crashed on the planet and left Jensen alone. In CECLON’s dry desert, Jensen must stay alive, find out what occurred, recover the Veka energy, and get off the planet. THE DARK SIDE OF CECLON is a science-fiction, third-person open-world game combining action and adventure with survival and RPG mechanics. Jensen also faces primitive Nocturnes.
