Narrative

In the year 20XX, Earth’s resources have been depleted by centuries of overconsumption, leaving the planet inhabitable for numerous species. Searching for answers, Earth’s collective governments have sent highly-trained individuals into space stations to care for endangered plants. You are The Botanist. An individual who has come to know space as their true home. Your spacesuit has become your second skin. After waking up from a multi-year hibernation in your cryopod, it seems the plants you have been caring for have mutated from extensive cosmic radiation, and have taken over the left side of your body. If that wasn’t bad enough, it seems as though your space station has undergone massive damage. Figure out creative ways to solve puzzles and navigate a deteriorating space station, while half your body has been taken over by your own plants… Solve the mystery of the true purpose of these orbiting coffins, and uncover the sinister reality of the space station…
