Still There

Still There is a story-driven psychological adventure game about lingering grief, technical puzzles, wacky AIs and dark humor. Every day is the same aboard the faraway Bento space-lighthouse, until a mysterious emergency radio transmission breaks the routine forever.

You play Karl Hamba, the station's sole operator, who earns a living monitoring and repairing the Bento's core systems alongside Gorky, his onboard artificial intelligence. The game asks you to study your environment to understand the station's complex functions, report back to your inept employers, and gradually discover your true purpose, all while confronting, consoling and confessing through dialogues with rich and compelling characters in a humane sci-fi mystery.

Between daily tasks there is plenty to occupy you: challenge Gorky to chess, nurture a pet tuatara, or recycle your own urine into another meal. The Bento is brimming with detail and odd ways to interact with everything you see, and the story keeps asking a single hard question: how far is far enough?
