Acatalepsia
A deep space archeology game where you dig up bizarre relics and uncover the story of what might have happened millions of years ago on an alien planet. However, the more you uncover, the less habitable the planet appears to be. (w/Eldritch/Lovecraft-inspired elements)
The Fermi Institute of New Earth has dictated a cursory exploratory mission of Proxima b, one of many newly accessible T.H.Z.s (Technically Habitable zones). After accepting your application they delivered you for a trial period of 3 Standard days to ensure proper acclimation. In that time you will be expected to do initial excursions within the bounds of basecamp at Crateris Alpha as well as preliminary construction of deep-rock drills.
PSA: There are two main routes, Sleeper and Insomniac. However, these routes can be mixed and matched to achieve 6 unique endings! Enjoy!
(Also, this game includes cutscenes, don't panic if you can't move immediately!)

What a wonderful game! The ending i got almost made me cry, and if a piece of media can do that, that means it at least gets an 8 out of 10. And this game gets a 10!
Thank you so much!! <3 I loved getting to listen to your play by play commentary! People like you motivate me to keep pursuing my passions so I deeply appreciate it. =D
Such an eerie and spooky game! I loved the ending that I got!! I saw the amount of hard work that was put into this piece of art. Thank you for making this :)
Thank youuuuu <3
Playtesting this game was a joy. Acatalepsia shows off Oldladies7’s keen eye for visual design and intricate (and funny) dialogue. It’s a creative and solid game, steam-worthy for sure! I’d also say it’s replayable which is impressive for the short time it took to make it.Keep an eye out for Oldladies7, there’s more where this came from.
Thank you so much for taking the time to donate and leave such a lovely comment! I appreciate it so much!!
