Screenshots

Landing in from the heliopad atop Forward Operating Base, this pyromancer is ready to burn some AMP and chew bubble gum, but he's all out of bubblegum.
The 2nd area, Avery Center of Microbiology on the ground floor looks like a desolate Mars outside. Looks like a few colonists didn't survive based on the tombstones.
The 3rd area: GSU Atilla seems to be overrode by AMP infiltration. Will the assassin make it through undetected?
The 4th area, Planck Research at the very bottom in "The Pit". Beware the acid!
The 5th and final area: Haldane Terminus. Here we see the doctor running for a terminal room to quickly upgrade their skills. It's lucky to find a terminal; otherwise the captain needs to upgrade between games at the main menu.
The bonus area: The Ruined Byond. Only one of the endings even allows getting to this point. No spoilers here! Needless to say, this area is significantly difficult!

Original Story

Kepler452b will be releasing for free in 2020 on Windows, Linux & MacOS. Enjoy a roguelike with one of 8 classes, 5 unique worlds, beautiful graphics by Oryx, 28 unique enemies and a story! Whether you prefer to sneak around and backstab with the assassin, use a flamethrower as a pyrotechnic or grapple enemies to you and poison them, there's bound to be a play style you will enjoy! Now let's dim the lights for a moment, lean back and briefly enter this new world.

You are on the Cygnas System exploration regiment, sent 1400 light-years away from Earth to explore and take samples from the planet Kepler-452b, a super earth exoplanet in the habitable zone of a G2 star discovered 827 years ago today on August 23rd, 2015. You are one of 5 captains, your battalion having been the last to wake from cold sleep. The E-Class Starship Yuri has been orbiting K452b for almost 10 years now and communications with First Battalion at the forward operating base have been unanswered for the last two weeks.

The terminal manifest has uprooted audio logs of battalion staff officers having to suppress rumors of creatures native to K452b being grown and dissected. The only lead scientist aboard Yuri has noted that for the past 4 months the planet has begun to pulse strong wave emulsions that could directly be interfering with any wide-band communications.

Upon setting boots on ground, it's clear that the entire forward operating base has been compromised. In order to return home you have to retrieve all missing ship access keys from the other four captains. Gain the upper hand by acquiring more intel or methodically destroy any opposition to gain power. Command your team to whatever style suits you. It will take many lives to restore the balance, it'll only take a few to escape.
