The game takes place on The Forgotten, a remote space station in decaying orbit above Proxima Centauri b, where engineer Max Novak must investigate the disappearance of the crew and prevent the station's imminent crash. The game features a 23-minute time loop that resets, causing the station's layout and systems to shift, and players must solve intricate puzzles and craft critical tools to repair the station.
