[Story]

You play as a surgeon stranded aboard the SSG Osiris. The ship is in disarray, its halls littered with the remnants of failed evacuations, and something unnatural lurks in the darkness. Your mission is simple—perform life-saving operations on the last survivor. However, there’s one problem: a monstrous, biomechanical entity roams the station, hunting anything that makes noise. Every incision, every movement, and every tool you use must be carefully handled. A single mistake could not only cost your patient’s life but also draw the creature to you.

[Gameplay]

The core gameplay is inspired by the classic board game Operation, requiring precision surgery under extreme pressure. Each procedure demands careful extraction of foreign objects, organ repairs, or stabilization of dying patients, all while ensuring that you don’t trigger sound-sensitive medical equipment. Using the ship's medical tools, many of them outdated and prone to malfunctions, could betray you at any moment. Using tools such as the syringe which contains anaesthetics, coagulants, or stimulants and misusing them can cause the patient to react violently or worsen their condition, their main use is to null the patients before their hums of pain can summon the stalker. If you slip up, you won’t have time to finish your operation before the creature arrives.

[The Creature: Synthavor]

The Synthavor itself is a biomechanical horror, a fusion of corrupted flesh and machine, twisted by a technology-driven disease. This creature is an unpredictable threat, hiding in the ship’s ventilation system, patrolling corridors, and dynamically reacting to noise. Unlike scripted horror encounters, the creature follows its own logic—it stalks you, learns from your mistakes, and adapts to your tactics. If it hears the whir of the patient or the screech of a surgical table, it will descend upon you without mercy. You must find ways to mask sound, time your movements carefully, and be ready to abandon an operation at a moment’s notice to hide.

[Hide for your life]

Stealth plays a key role. You can hide under tables, inside lockers, or behind Desks, but your environment is just as dangerous as the creature itself. Knocking over instruments, stepping on broken glass, or activating malfunctioning doors could give away your position. Some procedures require the use of loud medical equipment, forcing you to create distractions or pre-emptively shut off noisy systems. The ship’s failing infrastructure adds another layer of tension—some areas might be safer, but flickering lights, and decayed machinery make navigation unpredictable and deadly.
