Uncover Planetary Mysteries in Corpse Discovery

“What went wrong?” is the primary question presented by Corpse Discovery‘s mysterious debut teaser. Waking up in the remains of a broken base, full of abandoned gear, players find themselves on a new, unexplored planet.

The explorer navigates various planets, each with with its own procedurally-generated ecosystem. Every planet has an objective, as well as some hints as to what happened to the stranded astronaut. The tasks usually revolve around mapping the area and finding some resources. Ultimately, the player needs to discover the purpose of their mission and some means of returning home to their family.

Further emphasizing the themes of family ties is Chip Sineni, the game’s creative director, and his examination of balancing work and life. Sineni drew from his own life experiences during development and included his family members in some parts of developing the game, including voice-overs and imagery. The game aims to thoughtfully examine what it means to be successful, and the sacrifices that often come with it.

The debut trailer is the first time Phosphor Games has shown off Corpse Discovery in any great detail. The project is coming soon to Windows. To check out the studio’s past and upcoming productions, those interested can visit the official website.
