Erebus-9 Demo

Experience living hell in this reimagining of Dante’s Inferno as a cosmic, psychological horror. Daniel Taylor is adrift. Alone. Suddenly pulled from the vast emptiness of space by a nameless voice, Daniel finds himself aboard the Erebus-9 in search of the last survivor and a way to escape.

As Daniel, you must journey through the Erebus-9’s abandoned hangar, forging your own path through the darkness in the pursuit of a way out. Your only chance at survival is to dive deeper into hell or be trapped forever.

Step into hell

The Erebus-9, a gargantuan space station orbiting a blackhole, was Daedalus Industries’ flagship research facility. Take your first steps through Erebus-9’s once-lively shipping hangar, now Limbo, the first level of hell. Ravaged by an unknown disaster, only haunting fragments of the crew remain to tell the story of their final days.

Uncover the path

You are a stranger to the Erebus-9, pulled from space as you drifted helplessly, brought here by a voice without a name. Explore the abandoned hangar, interact with a variety of retro-futuristic technology, and carve a path through the chaos as you search for an escape. What seemed like a rescue was damnation.

Survive the darkness

Daedalus Industries are humanity’s leading technological innovator, a reputation they maintain by fiercely protecting their cutting edge research. The Erebus-9’s existence was kept secret and, since the crew met their ill fate, the station has been condemned. Now, you must survive the dangers of a crumbling space station left to rot. 

Demo features

• Explore a sprawling, brutalist space station

• Solve puzzles using retrofuturist technology

• Locate 11 supplementary crew logs throughout the level

Please note

This first snapshot of level one is designed to introduce you all to the world of Erebus-9 and Daedalus Industries. You’ll meet the protagonist, Daniel Taylor, take your first steps through the Erebus-9’s abandoned hangar, and uncover moments of life aboard for the ill-fated crew. 

We are keen to show the demo starting from this early stage of development as we want to give you all the chance to help shape the game as it grows. We’re interested to see how everyone engages with the game to ensure all the core systems feel intuitive as we scale up. Including players from the start is important to us as a team and provides the most helpful feedback while we are in this flexible, early stage of development.

If you’d like to support us by offering feedback on the demo or notifying us of any bugs, please join our Discord where you can chat to our dev team! If you’re interested in learning more about Centaurus Software or our current development team, check out our website and team page.
