MEET ALEX VOLT!
Alex Volt is a highly skilled explorer and combat specialist with one goal: Become the most famous explorer in history.
Backstory:
Despite his expertise in navigating dangerous space missions, he’s perpetually overlooked and never gets the recognition he deserves. After receiving a distress signal, Alex crash-lands on a frozen, barren planet. His ship is wrecked, his communication systems are down, and his crew is missing. Now, stranded on a derelict space station, Alex must survive and find his team—while dealing with malfunctioning tech, strange alien creatures, and his own sense of being forgotten.
Storyline:
Alex’s journey becomes one of comedic resilience as he uses his dry wit and sarcastic charm to face increasingly absurd situations. Though often fumbling his way through danger, his unintended heroism and positive attitude keep him going, even when it seems like everything is going wrong. As he stumbles through alien encounters and malfunctioning equipment, Alex’s endless optimism and self-deprecating humor make him both loveable and relatable. Despite his best efforts to be recognized as the greatest explorer, he ultimately becomes a beloved, misunderstood figure—his success coming not from being the best, but from being the most entertaining underdog in the galaxy.
Team up. Explore deep. Escape alive!
Players are elite operatives stranded on a derelict space station after a catastrophic crash. Their goal is to recover essential ship parts, battle terrifying anomalies, and uncover the station’s dark secrets. The game blends sandbox-style building mechanics with survival horror elements, where players can construct defenses, repair systems, and use their wits to survive in a hostile and ever-evolving environment. With procedurally generated challenges and a focus on team-based problem solving, each playthrough is unique, offering high replayability through a balance of exploration, combat, and creativity.
Lights out?
Survival Horror Elements: Players must manage light sources, suit power, and utilize proximity chat to communicate, creating a tense atmosphere where danger lurks in the shadows. The need to conserve power and navigate dark environments adds to the challenge.
[Early concept – not indicative of final game.]
While Supernatural Explorers delivers classic survival horror tension, it also embraces the chaos and comedy of surviving with friends who barely know what they’re doing.
Players can wear full tactical armor—or just boxers and a headlamp. There’s no dress code, just consequences.
Proximity chat turns every mistake into a moment: someone reroutes power to the coffee machine instead of the lights, or screams "I got this!" before vanishing into a vent. You’ll argue over base layouts, accidentally trap teammates, and maybe build a shrine to a vending machine that spits out cursed burritos.
Some anomalies scare you. Others just mess with your stuff or mimic your voice to confuse the crew. Every playthrough is unpredictable, terrifying, and hilariously broken in all the right ways.
