Whispers From an Alien Sanctum

/ Development update

An expedition taking shape

A clearer arrival, a tended garden, and a fresh look at the sanctuary in our latest development build.

The expedition now begins with a signal picked up aboard your corvette and the promise of valuable relics below. A short, skippable cockpit opening gives your visit a purpose, while early drone observations introduce the garden through what you can see.

Outside, arranged plant beds have their own caretakers. Two floating biomechanical seed tenders inspect the foliage and deliver nutrients, gently giving you room as you approach. They and the refined garden grazers can be studied with your survey drone.

This pass also brings satin Nordic Gold to the metalwork, more carefully fitted drone details, clearer menus, and small fixes to the sanctuary instruments and title screen. Loading a saved game no longer creates duplicate objects such as the torch.

We have refreshed the gallery with captures from the current game. The next Meta build has been prepared for upload; these development notes do not announce its availability on the beta channel.
