In an alternate 1988 where a supervolcanic eruption has devastated Earth’s surface, brave and desperate Terranaut expeditions carve out a path to a supposedly massive crude oil deposit vital to fueling the salvation of humanity’s remaining civilizations. To get that oil they’ll have to survive underground terrain, bizarre creatures of the deep earth, and each other, to the point where lack of oxygen underground may be their smallest problem.
Anoxia Station is a weird little “horror-strategy” game set in that world where you take charge of one of these expeditions in a turn-based format, trying to deep-earth strip mine your way to humanity’s future. It’s a strange and unique-looking game that builds an aesthetic comparable to HR Giger’s—a blend of industrial mechanics, natural features, and bizarre creatures.
