Get a Glimpse of Angels in Orbit
Solo developer Vincent Lade has officially unveiled the announcement trailer for Angels in Orbit, an upcoming sci-fi first-person psychological horror experience. The game is set to launch on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, where players can already wishlist it to stay updated on future developments.
Set in the year 2170, Angels in Orbit places players aboard the AIO Station, which a mysterious anomaly has torn apart. You step into the role of a lone technician struggling to survive as the silence of deep space grows heavier. But survival is only part of the story. Strange, biblical angels begin to appear, forcing you into unsettling trials centered on morality, judgment, and the consequences of humanity’s ambition.
The gameplay leans heavily into narrative-driven design, featuring branching dialogues where every choice carries weight. Decisions shape not just the protagonist Hawkins’ fate, but also the broader outcome for humanity. Rather than simple win-or-lose endings, the game offers multiple conclusions that reflect the truths players choose to confront or ignore.
Exploration plays a key role as you navigate the collapsing station, uncovering logs, clues, and environmental details that slowly reveal the origins of the anomaly. Alongside this, players must repair systems, restore machinery, and improvise solutions to stay alive. A progression system that grants divine abilities further enhances the experience, while Alter, a relentless entity, constantly stalks the corridors, adding a persistent threat.
Overall, Angels in Orbit blends existential storytelling with survival horror mechanics, shaping up to be a tense and thought-provoking journey worth keeping an eye on.
