These gigantic insects have proven to be a significant threat to the expedition’s survival, launching organized attacks against human scouts.

Command the Starship “Solaris”

The starship Solaris serves as home base and planning center throughout the game. Here, players will strategize their missions into the perilous world of Tenebris. The ship’s colorful crew of five characters will provide guidance and assign main and side storyline tasks. Additionally, players can purchase weapons and armor, recruit new members, and tend to wounded characters. Players must be cautious, though, as resources are limited.

Tenebris: Terra Incognita is a complex turn-based RPG in a grim science fiction setting. You will face a harsh journey through an uncharted planet teeming with terrifying monsters. The player’s task is to rescue the human expedition from the crashed ship Solaris, overcoming serious obstacles along the way.

CHARACTERS

Over the course of the game you will have access to 23 different classes with their own unique mechanics. We are big fans of such series as X-Com, Disciples 2 and HoMM, so we want to give players a similar experience, thanks to the deep customization of characters and the career progression.

  • Experiment with the talent branches of the characters.
  • Combine your abilities with equipment items.
  • Create your own unique build, and conquer the world of Tenebris!

MONSTERS

The game release is planned to have 3 global locations – biomes with their own monsters. Each type of monsters will differ significantly both visually and tactically.
In the beginning the players have to face the bugs of the Misty Wastes.
The giant insects are highly tenacious and ever since the first encounter they have been attacking human scouts in an organized manner.
These bugs are extremely aggressive, presumably because of their instinct to protect their colonies, which poses a serious threat to the survival of the expedition.

STARSHIP “SOLARIS”

The vessel serves as the base for the player. This is where you are going to plan your missions into the dangerous world of Tenebris. The ship’s command crew of 5 colorful characters will assist you throughout the game.
They will give you the main and side storyline assignments.

Here you can buy weapons and armor, hire new recruits, and treat wounded characters. In the hospital you can buy combat stimulants to strengthen your soldiers, but funds are limited, so use them wisely.

Will you manage to conquer the dark planet and save the expedition?
It’s fate is in your hands and the stakes are high!
