INVASIA
INVASIA is an atmospheric sci-fi horror shooter set on an abandoned space station, engulfed by a mysterious parasitic outbreak.
You are the lone survivor, trapped within dead corridors and dark laboratories, where the walls themselves begin to breathe and change along with a new form of life.
You search for an escape, but the line between you and them is beginning to blur. In the hallways, you hear not only the echo of your own steps, but voices and thoughts that no longer belong to you.
INVASIA is not about defeating the enemy.
It’s about how long you can hold on to yourself.
