About Second Star | Second Star

200 years in the future...

Private corporation Dayspring Industries recruited and sent eight of humanity's bravest and brightest on a mission to the far reaches of space. The Second Star was praised as humanity’s hope for opening up the rest of the galaxy for exploration and expansion...until contact was lost and the mission abandoned.

Ten years later, an independent astronomy research facility in southern Chile announced that they had detected a distress call from a beacon outside our solar system. A multinational effort is announced shortly after to put a new team of astronauts together with the hope of finding the Second Star, her crew, and some long-awaited answers.

Voyage through deep space

Explore varied and immersive environments in a single player, first person adventure featuring captivating visuals and an enchanting musical score. Use your creativity to problem-solve as you navigate physical and mental challenges in your search for the Second Star.

Get to know the crew of the Persistence

You're a long way from home. To survive the pressures of a deep space mission, you'll need to form strong relationships with your crewmates. Interact with characters who are diverse and multi-faceted. Each of them has a story to tell and choosing to pursue a deeper relationship–professional, friendly, or more–with your crew mates will open up more dialogue options and content.

Meet the Persistence Crew

Dr. Lee won't have to find the Second Star on their own. Five highly-qualified astronauts and an artificial intelligence will be supporting you on every excursion you embark on.

Dr. Lee

Dr. Lee is the science officer of the Persistence and is who you will be playing as in your journey to find the Second Star. With several character customization options available, including your background, family history, and your choice of four voices, you'll be able to make your Dr. Lee unique to your play style.

ANAVI

Advanced Navigational Aerospace Visual Interface

A remarkable evolution in the field of artificial assistant software, ANAVI is a prototype developed by two-time Turing Award winner Dr. Lena Alter for the Persistence mission. Produced to function as a true collaborator, ANAVI utilizes the ship’s extensive database and systems combined with real time analysis to innovate solutions in the lab and field. ANAVI can process audio, video, and tactile feedback broadcast from the crew’s encounter suits, communicators, and terminals and will be Lee's guide during planetary excursions in the search for the Second Star.

Joey Barker

Engineer

A native of New Zealand and a prodigy in spacecraft systems and engine design, Johanna "Joey" Barker is the Persistence's engineer. When the time came to assemble the crew for the Persistence, Barker was among the first to volunteer, unknowing that her certifications had already landed her a spot on the crew. Joey will respond best to humorous responses from Lee, but also appreciates blunt honesty. She's also an incorrigible flirt, and loves it when people can take this in stride, and especially loves it when they reciprocate.

Enhance your excursions

Craft upgrades for your ship and suit using the Persistence’s state-of-the-art Fabricator and blueprints discovered on planets or given to you by your crew mates. Replenish your supplies using resources you find on planets or even cultivate your own rare alien specimens in the lab's hydroponics bay.
