Zly.ii The Hacked Station

Zly.ii is a first person scifi adventure game with challenging puzzles, made for the 10th anniversary of the Black Cube series (ASA: A Space Adventure, Catyph, Myha, Kitrinos, Boinihi), commonly compared to such games such as Myst or Rhem.

"You are an astronaut from planet Terra who has been invited to the Table of the TSP - Terran Space Pirates, because one of the members, also your friend, is missing. Your mission is to go to the Catyph planetary system to use the Kunci, a kind of stargate, which will teleport you to the last presumed location of your friend. She was looking for a rare Black Cube, an alien artefact with various powers. After using the kunci, you realize that you have to explore an old Anterran space station, but you are stuck there with no way to go back. In addition you can't find your friend, and you feel that a hostile presence is looking at every of your actions in this dark place..."

The game was made in Unity with 360° panoramic views (prerendered backgrounds and video cutscenes, like Myst III and IV). The logical puzzles are in the continuation of the Black Cube classics, requiring to explore, observe, understand and take notes with pen and paper. The gameplay mainly uses the mouse - keyboard is sometimes required to input passwords/commands, or to display the menu (echap).

The current Jam Edition is the complete game but with a few limitations. As a Jam release it is not perfect (ie lacks sound effects). As a free version it also has low resolution (720x405).

A final 1080p version is planned and should release soon, with hd resolution (1920x1080), sound effects and other improvements.
