Year 2103. Humanity is colonizing nearest star systems. United Space Mission, a colonist organization, is exploring unusual asteroids in Ran system (ε Eridani). They consist of an unknown dense matter and have Earth-like gravity near the surface. USM has connected three asteroids – Midgard, Asgard, Helheim – into a network using space elevators (Artsutanov's elevator). This structure is called Yggdrasil. Most of the work on Yggdrasil is done by robots, so there is no need for permanent residents there. Once a year, a USM engineering team visits the structure to replenish stock of materials, do the checks and install new equipment.

On Yggdrasil there was a mysterious accident that resulted in significant damage to some of the facilities. The main character, survived USM engineer, has to escape the Yggdrasil. The game takes place on asteroids with uneven gravity, there are places where it is weaker, and player can jump higher in such places. Player uses gravity gun to move objects and a magnet grappling hook to transfer himself in space.

The game will provide high level of interactivity, featuring fully dynamic world with everything being controlled by the physics engine. You will be able to walk on any surface and push any object, use special devices to affect gravity and other physical behaviours of the environment.
