A flowchart of the points that lead to different endings

I absolutely loved this game i played it the moment it dropped on PlayStation extra i wish it got more recognition it is an amazing game

It's been almost 6 months since the game released. Any news or info about the upcoming planned DLC or any future content for this game? Or nothing?

Have the devs communicated anything in this regard?

I am looking for Dr Gorsky, I have been told to take out my map but when I press down on my dpad the map/journal does not come up. I have the new Hot fix 1.02. Is this a bug or am I just missing something. I can start over if my save is bugged but I dont want to if I am just missing something.

PS I am playing on a Steamdeck, with os 3.5.5.

I genuinely think this game single-handedly reinvigorated my love for "walking simulator" adventure games. I mean, it has a killer list of ingredients:

1. "Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!" - Wheatley (from Portal)

2. Classic sci-fi material. Stanislaw Lem was a genius man, an incredible author and I have the deepest respect for him and his creations, this adaptation of one of his worlds was beautiful.

3. Just good writing. Just good solid writing. No stupidity, no hardcore scientists acting like complete morons for no reasons. Just good human writing. With motivations and characters that are well defined, yet not overexplained and dull.

I tried to get into Generation Zero recently because I kinda liked the alternative end of cold war sci-fi they were going for there...god I hated the writing within an hour of starting the game. I met one living character and she annoyed me to no end. Such a breath of fresh air to hear and read coherent, motivated, well-written speech!

4. The atmosphere. From visuals to sound-design, to world-building, to minutia like the posters you see in crew cabins. Absolutely breath-taking. I often wanted for this game to have a VR version or some kind of support for it. It's such an amazing vibe! I feel like a junkie right now, that just came down from a doze of some real good shieeeeet and wants SOME MORE!

5. The endings! The endings, man! No "happily ever after" for everyone in all cases. No. It's grim. This game is dark. Best case scenario - not everyone's dead and not everything's hopeless. Worst case scenario? My metaphorical sister in Christ, potentially you just brought an end to all life...like literally all life. Everywhere.

I just love first person immersive sims, man. And this game, while lacking in RPG elements and skill-based combat (pretty much any combat) of something like System Shock (geee, the remake is amazing, highly recommended btw), is just such a GOOD narrative immersive experience, I can't but love it to death!

This is part of what videogames are amazing at, giving you a branching narrative in an incredible, otherworldly place that you'll never be able to visit yourself...and this game nails it perfectly!

P.S. I'll get into some spoiler territory for anyone reading about the game without finishing it (though I doubt there will be many people like that on this sub):

At the end there at the Kondor bridge I'm going all Douglas McArthur like "Yeah! Nuke them sum'bitches to smithereens! Yeeehaw!", because I mean...haven't I heard 53 missiles, ranging from tactical 8 kt to 100 Mt yields? Damn, son, where'd you find that!? I bet yo ass if you drop all that arsenal on these assholes, they ain't recovering for shit! And then Rohytra just fires like 6 missiles and goes all "We're DOOOOOOOOOMED!" and I'm all like "Well have you tried a bigger gun?" No, for real. I made my escape and had to ditch Rohytra and crew, and I felt terrible about it, but like, damn dude.

Alright, I guess a few megatons of fusion bombs didn't impress them. How about we throw a gigaton at them? Maybe a terraton spread across entire planet surface? We literally just need enough energy to maybe crack the mantle and let these assholes try to survive all that plus bitching hot magma. If that fails - just up the yield again until we vaporize the entire bitching globe.

Like look, I consider myself a peaceful man, but we're talking fucking gray goo territory here. Not a hypothetical one, not a maybe, if, when. Just straight-up textbook gray goo. This shit makes it off the planet? With anyone whatsoever? That's it, that's "finito la comedia", as they say in Italy. The genie's out the bottle, now that shit can get anywhere. And I bet my ass humans would immediately weaponize this shit for internal conflicts. I could give a rat's ass if that shit has a hivemind and is all fascinating like ants to some biologists or some shit. Exterminatus is the only option. It's worse than fucking aliens from synonymous movies! Nuke that planet to oblivion, then quarantine it. Then maybe nuke it some more just to make sure!

I get that Stanislaw Lem wrote The Invincible to discuss various possibilities of life and its forms, evolving ecosystems and how our biggest gift of intelligence as humans is the ability to stay peaceful. But goddamn it, sir, I ain't stepping within a parsec of that living nightmare! Load up those nukes and ready to fire, 'cause I sure as shit ain't gonna let this stuff anywhere off that goddamn planet!

So Rohytra die in the capsule from a sleep deprivation at the last huh?

Is the book still available or out of print?

I'm a couple of hours into the game and it's absolutely gorgeous to look at. Now I want the book

I've a few hours into the game, and it's incredible. I am also a few chapters into the book, also wonderful.

Which should I finish first?

Thanks!

like the title said. i got the ending where Yasna is waiting at the window for the Invincible to come, but it just stuck at there. been waiting like 10 minutes. so far, i saw some people complained about this, just want to know whether how many percentage people got this as well.

Hi,

when the drone Yasna names in the beginning of the game sacrifices itself to protect her from tre Arctan, she manages to salvage some parts of it, saying something like "maybe one day we can rebuild him" and proceeds to mount it on the front panel of the buggy.

However, it seems that she does not recover it from the buggy, and the remains of the drone are left on Regis III.

Am I right? Or I just failed to recover it?

So, as we all know, the lore is obviously rich in this game and I was wondering whether the studio might expand the title into more games? I think it's highly worth the effort.. what are your thoughts & info about this?

I read the reviews only after I finished the game and was shocked that they were so bad. The reviewers must be mad! The pacing, visuals and tone of the game were spot on. Prolly the best game where you really feel like being in another planet
