Synopsis
A narratively-driven solo VR mystery (with light puzzle-solving) set in a science fiction future. The game features a love triangle between two humans and an AI, with one human experienbcing intimate partner violence/emotional abuse and the artificial intelligence agent who tries to save them. The game is also a lightweight puzzle experience: the player is a repair technician who must solve tactile puzzles to fix the malfunctioning ship and discover what really happened.
Players of Penrose Station will discover the nature of a crime and the perpetrator’s identity. They will feel conflicted about whether or not the act was ethical while experiencing a range of complex emotions: sadness, anger, helplessness, remorse, and understanding/insight.
