Outreach for PC is a science-fiction adventure game and at the same a debut project developed by a British studio called Pixel Spill.

Plot

The action of the game takes place in the 1980s. When writing the script, developers drew their inspirations from many conspiracy theories of the time and implemented them into the story as if they were true. A player assumes the role of an astronaut assigned to find the reason behind losing contact with a secret Soviet space station. Upon reaching the place, our character quickly discovers that the crew has vanished. To make things even worse, many of the station’s systems are in a miserable condition. It is up to him now (and the player, of course) to investigate what really happened on the space station.

Mechanics

Outreach for PC focuses mainly on exploration, during which the game leads a player through a solid story. One observes the action from the eyes of the astronaut and gets to explore the entire station, which is an interesting experience due to the zero gravity mechanics.

During the game, one has to gather clues and pieces of evidence that gradually reveal the pieces of the storyline puzzle. Occasionally, players will face some challenges testing their dexterity in maneuvering in zero gravity conditions. The logical puzzles are rather rare and simple.

Technical aspects

Outreach offers neat 3D visuals. Apart from the fact that the story takes place on a space station, the developers put some effort in recreating the 1980s atmosphere in a most convincing way. All the items, paintings, and structures are modeled after their real counterparts from the 1980s, while the more fantastical objects were inspired by the aesthetic representative for this decade.
