Stardust Forgotten Horror

The hum is the first thing you notice. A low, resonant thrum that vibrates through the metal floor beneath your worn boots and settles deep in your bones. You haven't heard it in… well, you haven't heard it in *years*. Not since the Evacuation. Then comes the flicker. The omnipresent, dull green glow of the emergency lights, a constant companion since the crash, sputters and dies, plunging you into absolute, suffocating darkness. For a heart-stopping moment, the hum intensifies, morphing into a grinding, metallic screech that echoes off the corroded bulkheads. Then, silence. Deafening, unnerving silence. You are Kai. Or, at least, you *think* you are. Fragments of memories, fractured and distorted like shards of glass, are all that remain of your past. You remember the escape pods, the desperate launch from the dying colony ship, the cold, sterile interior of your cryo-pod. Then… nothing. Until now. You claw at the familiar roughness of your jumpsuit, searching for your environment scanner. It's dead. Useless. Just like everything else on this forsaken wreck. You stumble forward, guided only by the faint, residual heat radiating from the walls. You know, instinctively, that you're not alone. Something else is here. Something that understands the darkness better than you ever will. This isn't just a derelict spaceship. It's a tomb. A prison. A monument to a forgotten horror. And you, Kai, are the unexpected guest. Your objective is simple: Survive. Unravel the mystery of the *Stardust*. Discover what happened to its crew. And above all else, avoid the thing that hunts in the shadows. The thing that remembers. The thing that waits. Each choice you make could be your last. Your sanity is a precious resource, eroding with every creak, every shadow, every unanswered question. Are you ready to face the darkness, Kai? Because it's already facing you.
