Description

A complex western science-fiction visual novel where the player is the Hive Mind controlling five characters spread across four species. When tragedy strikes, and a mysterious rescue mission goes horribly wrong, the survivors will be plunged into a conflict pitting morals and choices against neurology and a threat as old as the stars.

We sent Laika to space, and she died there. For better or worse, wherever there is a dog, man is never alone.

Main characters

MeasurementsHeight: 240cm, Weight: 14000kg
PersonalityCurious, Kind, Timid
RolePrimate, Robot

Description

Hereford is the "left foot" of the Hive, part of a pair. He's what happens when you pack a gene-hacked pygmy marmoset with an IQ of 260 into a life-support tank, and then drop that tank into a fourteen-tonne mechanical wrecking ball from hell.

​He's the sweet and gentle sort, honest. If you ask nicely, he'll fold you an origami crane out of a chunk of your hull.

RolePrimate, Robot

Description

Libby is the "right foot" of the Hive. She's what happens when you press-gang an angry monkey with an IQ of 275 into a Hive-mind, and then slap her into an upgraded version of Hereford's chassis. Faster, smarter, stronger, meaner, she's everything Humanity could ask for. If only they had asked.

But don't worry. She won't take it out on you. That's what your shipwrecked hull is for.

PersonalitySmart, Talkative
RoleCommunications Officer, Wolf

Description

The "mouth" and voice of the Hive-Mind, Molly is the communications specialist. Fluent in eighteen languages and twelve digital communications protocols, she was engineered, born, and bred to be the voice of the rescue team.

Molly's the bridge between man and dog, engineered from the genome up to more than the sum of her genetic roots. A cup of human, a cup of german shepherd, and a tablespoon each of mynah bird and mocking bird for echolaliac transmutation, she's born and bred for translating.

Description

Pauline's the "left hand" of the Hive, and the mathematical specialist. She's the reason the Hive can beat the station computer on fourier transforms and complex orbital mechanics. Forget faster and better at math than humans; she can beat most Hives.

She's humanity's most powerful mathematical mind in a century. And she's on your side.​

MeasurementsHeight: 85cm, Weight: 36kg
RoleDog

Description

The "nose" of the Hive-Mind, Rocco is the backbone of the entire sensor network that Padua Station relies on to smell out lost ships in space. With over a third of his engineered brain devoted to scent processing, Rocco processes signals faster and better than any computer, quantum or classical.

Rocco has the finest sense of smell in the solar system, and he's hooked up to the greatest 'nose' humanity has ever imagined.
