Overview
Description

In this third‑person action‑adventure, you play an astronaut stranded on a lifeless planet, armed only with a limited‑use jet‑pack and a mobile robotic arm. As you traverse desolate Soviet‑era towns and hostile terrain, you must solve environmental puzzles and follow the mysterious Aelita’s glowing footprints to uncover the truth behind humanity’s previous visit.\nThe game blends classic sci‑fi storytelling with atmospheric puzzles, offering a single‑player experience that challenges both wits and reflexes while immersing you in a cold‑war inspired mystery.

Humanity's last hope lies on a hostile planet teeming with monstrous life. You are sent on an expedition to eradicate the threats, only to discover that your actions paint you as the true villain. Robotex blends adventure, indie charm, and intense action with simple controls, challenging puzzles, and a wide arsenal of guns. Experience a single‑player story that forces you to question who the real monster is.
