SCAN THE STARS

The telescope is your main way of observing the universe, so use it to lock onto a star and bring up its' local system on the map console. Scan planets to discover them, learn more about their unique properties, and upload them to ScanCorp's servers.

SEARCH FOR SIGNALS

As the search for non-human civilizations intensifies, you will be asked to ping planets as you scan them in the hopes of finding an alien transmission. Lock in the waveform, decrypt the signal, and open a Pandora's box you never could have fathomed...

Planet Scanner is a semi-procedural horror narrative set in an isolated, cramped space station.
