Astral Eden [CHAPTER 1]
Astral Eden [CHAPTER 1] is a chapter-driven, first-person atmospheric horror experience set in the year 2100. Players step into the shoes of Steven Wright, a night-shift worker who accepts a lucrative captain role aboard the utopian spaceship Astral Eden. Partnered with an AI co-pilot named Mastermind, Steven hopes to secure his family’s future—even if it means being separated from them for 500 years. The game unfolds through tense, choice-driven moments that slowly spiral out of control, revealing how early decisions aboard the ship begin to unravel everything within just two years of service. With a runtime of around 15 minutes, Astral Eden offers a concise but intense narrative experience. The game’s style is raw and unpolished, reflecting its creator’s unique vision. If you’re looking for polished AAA quality or a mainstream horror title, this may not be for you. Still, fans of atmospheric storytelling and slow-burn tension will find something to engage with. Valve hopes this game reaches the right audience.
