🌌 Humanity's Last Chance Is Also Its Greatest Threat...

After a devastating global nuclear war, Earth is no longer habitable. Cities lie in ruins, radiation saturates the atmosphere, and the remnants of civilization survive inside walled enclaves. In a final attempt to ensure the survival of humanity, an international alliance launches a colonization mission to an Earth-like exoplanet: KOI-4878.01.

But the journey to salvation quickly becomes a voyage into nightmare.

During the first wave of exploration, one astronaut becomes infected by a mysterious alien virus—an insidious parasite that slowly erodes his sanity, turning him violent and uncontrollably aggressive. His first victims are the ATs, laboratory-grown humanoids designed to assist and protect the colonists. As his behavior spirals, he is finally subdued and captured…

But the real threat isn’t him.
It’s what’s growing inside him.

Without warning, the infected astronaut’s body ruptures, releasing a terrifying alien lifeform—a creature capable not just of killing, but of reproducing, spawning even more of its kind at an alarming rate. Intelligent, fast, and violently territorial, this new species quickly begins to nest… and multiply.

In the meantime, five ships full of colonists travel towards the planet. Arriving in the vicinity of KOI-4878.01, still outside its atmosphere and unsuspecting of the nightmare that awaits them, Major Lazirk and his elite military unit are ordered to investigate the silent, abandoned ship that carried out the first expedition.

Drifting in orbit, the vessel appears deserted.
Until they enter.
Until the screams.

Inside the ship, they discover a horrifying truth: it's not empty—it's infested. What begins as reconnaissance becomes a bloody battle against adaptive, lethal creatures determined to wipe out the AT soldiers.

Lazirk and a handful of survivors barely escape with their lives… but the war has only begun.

As the parasites spread, the fragile dream of a new home begins to fall apart. If the colonists can’t find a way to stop the infestation, KOI-4878.01 will become the tomb of the human race.

💥 A relentless sci-fi horror thriller about alien infection, survival, and the brutal cost of second chances.

Fans of Aliens, The Expanse, Dead Space, and The Thing will love this high-stakes, adrenaline-charged adventure.
