Watch the Trailer
The premise is that you’re an astronaut with a mission to check the exterior status of the International Space Station. Using your controller, you pull yourself out of the ISS, into (virtual) space. Because there’s no sound in space, the headphones play nothing but white noise during your trip.
You then have to make your way around the ISS, looking for the spot that needs to be fixed. Once you find it, you reach out for a toolkit, but the box spirals out of control – and an explosion throws you into the emptyness of space. You then have to steer your way back to the station using your jetpack, trying not to panic.
