Experience the next generation of space combat in Haunted Space. Science fiction mixes with elements of terror in an adventure rich in history based on exploration, fast-paced dogfights, trade and shipbuilding, with customizable flight simulation and intense battles against bosses in various stages.
In the distant future, the second era of human civilization reached the distant Neterun galaxy and discovered a powerful energy called sonic matter. Millions of settlers arrived in the Neterun systems and a vast factory called the Metal Mother Facility was built to harvest this valuable resource. But humanity soon discovered that they were not alone …
Take on the role of a Raider, at the service of the Human Empire, as he traverses a treacherous galaxy in the outer reaches of space. Take on missions across multiple systems or attack on your own to fight, explore and scour resources and credits. Trade, create, customize your ship and fight to survive while you discover the mystery of a galaxy haunted by an ancient civilization.
