Prologue

The earth is on the brink of collapse, devastated by a huge atomic war.

Space: the only possibility left to save mankind, to survive man is forced to send a module with a colony to Mars.

You are one of two astronauts who run the space base orbiting the earth.

You have been given the mission of guiding the module to its destination.

But during the mission it seems that you are not alone on the space base after all...

Before playing

Lotus is a short thriller experience, entirely created by Luca Rinaudo aka Sodio for the Hawktober Horrors 2024 Game Jam.

All code, models, textures and story were created by me and are my property.

A huge thank you to Pixabay.com, for the dozens of sound effects and music I made use of, without them Lotus wouldn't be a game.

All the voice over was created thanks to the AI of lovo.ai, which saved you from a poor quality and cumbersome dubbing (mine).

Thanks to Thimoty aka G, Massimo aka MX and Raffaele aka RC for being the main source of inspiration for the names, character and background of the characters.

Special thanks to Christopher Nolan for his splendid Interstellar, the main source of inspiration for the game.

Warning: in developing the game I paid particular attention to the creation of a deep plot, with important details hidden behind small details. Beyond the gameplay, therefore, I invite players to grasp the true essence of the experience which lies in stopping to find all the secrets and reconstruct the true story of Lotus.

Have fun!
