In Dead in Antares, the Pro Cooker is a very special camp station as it's the ONLY station that does NOT need anyone working on it!

(Well, you'll still need precious resources AND energy to make the meals, but let's not focus on the details)

Our friends at @songs-of-silence.com
are bringing their stunning strategy adventure to Epic Games Store - free starting tomorrow! 💥

We had the pleasure of bundling The Last Spell with Songs of Silence earlier this year, and we’re thrilled to see this game reach even more players.

Go claim it!

On Antares Prime, Ore and Carbon are essential minerals you can both mine in the field and process directly at your camp.

They’re vital for crafting new items, upgrading AND repairing your camp stations!

Like Liu, Gabriel is a sapper in combat, and will prove himself useful when trying to debuff enemies from any row!

We used to print the keyart from The Last Spell on T-shirts.

Today, a fan made a WHOLE TAPESTRY OUT OF IT AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING (we're absolutely not jealous)

Stress, Injury, Sickness, Hunger and Fatigue.

If any of those states hit 100, the character dies (and in Dead in Antares, one character dead = game over).

You also want to keep them as low as possible, as the higher they climb, the harsher the negative effects!

Last but not least, Polina, the Astrophysicist. She's the daughter of a renowned scientist, who's also lead of the Ixion Project & a member of the Global Committee.
Despite her extensive knowledge, she fears others will think her presence is due to her father. But this can't be possible, can it?
