# Project: Aurora > Not as abandoned as it seems... A seemingly harsh planet, haunted by sandstorms and full of endless wastelands scattered with the ruins of a long-forgotten civilization. From orbit, it appears lifeless - yet you'll soon discover that someone, or something, is watching your every move. You are the captain of a research mission on the surface of a newly discovered planet, Aurora. Your task is to lead the expedition by managing research facilities and directing trips into the planet's unexplored regions. Learn about Aurora's past and search for traces of the previous expedition, whose last contact was an alarm signal... A truly terrifying one. EXPLORE Venture into hostile, endless terrain where every path could lead to deadly danger. As captain of the expedition, you decide where to go and what risks to take to reach your goal. The unpredictable world of Aurora awaits you, and each new discovery may alter your understanding of this place. The fate of your crew depends on cold calculations, pure courage, and sometimes intuition - just remember, not everything you find here will be on your side. SOLVE THE MYSTERY You are about to embark on a journey that will raise more questions than answers. It is a dark and mysterious place where each step could be your last. Draw on the knowledge of scientists and specialists to determine if your mission is yet another scientific experiment or perhaps the next chapter in the history of cosmic horror... SURVIVE You are leading a research mission on a strange and mysterious planet - everything here depends on you. Manage supplies, expand the base, and develop its infrastructure. Your people need a strong leader, especially in case of illnesses, accidents, or paranoia... if they manage to make it back from their journey into the unknown. Every decision matters here - ignoring basic symptoms can lead to valuable personnel falling ill, while sending an expedition without proper equipment leads it to certain death on Aurora. Weigh the risks, make decisions, and, above all, don't get yourself killed - exploring an alien planet is no joke! BUILD AND MANAGE RESOURCES Without the right infrastructure, the expedition will fail. You must decide how to allocate your precious resources and develop the main base. Remember, every choice has consequences. After all, without energy, new discoveries, or the minerals hidden in foreign soil, the entire mission could end in failure. Developing the base structure, investing in new technologies, and opening mines, refineries, power plants, and laboratories is not just a task - it is a condition for your crew's survival. WHERE SCIENCE MEETS FICTION Every aspect of this world is based on solid foundations of modern science. Your discoveries are not coincidental - they combine real biology, geology, archaeology, and physics, creating a network of connections that form the basis of Aurora's new civilization. The tools and methods at your disposal are not fantasy but actual research techniques and instruments drawn from real expeditions and excavations. Here, on Aurora, science is your guide through the dark abyss of space. Uncover the fate of the planet, its long-forgotten inhabitants, and the missing team that came before you. Decide whether to follow the beaten track or find your own path. Things can easily become complicated, and the obvious explanation may turn out to be very disturbing. Learn about the rich, multilayered history of a fallen culture and the fate of those who encountered the unknown. Prepare for a series of difficult decisions, none of which may be the right one, and face the consequences that will affect your life and that of your entire crew. The aim of the project is to reach international markets and increase the recognition of the game abroad, with co-funding of PLN 80,000. The project Project: Aurora developed by Tesseract Games, is co-financed by European Funds for a Smart Economy 2021-2027 under the KPT ScaleUp Booster program.
