Prime Matter, a publishing label launched last June under Koch Media (now Plaion), has one of its games slowly starting to show itself.

According to its Steam page, „A colossal and enigmatic alien structure appears in Earth’s orbit and stuns the entire world; humanity names it “The Metahedron.” The Sentient Contact Assessment and Response team (SCAR)—consisting of scientists and engineers – is sent to investigate. Things don’t go as planned, and the Metahedron hauls the team across space onto a mysterious extrasolar planet. Playing the role of Dr Kate Ward – a SCAR member—who wakes up dazed, alone in a strange, hostile environment. Determined to survive, you set out to find your crew and unravel the mystery behind what’s happened.

Kate is an astronaut and a scientist—not a soldier—but she’s resourceful and determined to do anything to survive. Use a combination of ranged weapons, devices, consumables and melee attacks; you must manage stamina as you run, dodge, exploit weak points and discover effective tactics to defeat your foes. Combine different elemental attacks to beat the odds and break through otherwise impassable obstacles—craft additional items and gadgets to aid you against the countless threats in this exoplanet.

Immerse yourself in a carefully crafted adventure inspired by the science-fiction classics. Explore an alien world filled with countless threats, gorgeous landscapes and ruins hinting at an ancient—yet advanced—civilization that somehow disappeared. Journey through different biomes, such as marshlands, freezing wastelands, underground caverns and alien facilities—all with their challenges, enemies, secrets and environmental hazards.

Kate is a scientist to her core. You’ll use that scientific expertise to extract information from your surroundings by scanning artefacts, materials and creatures to learn about their features, properties and weaknesses. As you explore your surroundings, you will conduct analysis and gain knowledge, allowing you to craft new gadgets and weapons and unlock abilities in Xenobiology and Engineering trees. With diverse strategies and tactics, ghastly enemy designs will keep encounters fresh, forcing you to find creative ways to defeat them.”

Scars Above, a third-person action adventure, has no release date yet. It is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Steam), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Mad Head Studio (Pagan Online) develops it.
