About Faultline.Exe
\
Welcome to Deep Space Station Kepler-442. The median life expectancy of a new user is 8 minutes. Try to beat the average.You are a remote operative who just established an unauthorized neural link with a deep space facility that is actively tearing itself apart. Life support is plummeting, the blast doors are sealing, and Halcyon Dynamics Corporate would like to remind everyone that screaming over the open comms is highly unprofessional.The station's autonomous intelligence, FAULTLINE, insists a micrometeorite strike caused the catastrophe. But as you slice through the restricted archives, the bloody truth bleeds through the static. There was no meteor. They woke something up in the mines, and now the 847 souls aboard are getting a crash course in extreme workplace hazards.AN UNSCHEDULED RESTRUCTURING EVENT Welcome to Project: Chrysalis. Halcyon Dynamics didn't build a mining station; they built a multi-billion-credit petri dish. An ancient alien virus is aggressively "synergizing" the crew into a biological hive mind, and Corporate just dispatched a heavily armed stealth frigate to downsize the remaining witnesses. You have four hours to bypass the ICE, steal the evidence, and try not to get pureed by a rogue Autodoc because you clicked the wrong door.KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (FEATURES):- Retro-Terminal Interface: Experience the apocalypse through a gritty, text-driven CRT operating system. It’s exactly like your real day job, but with more alien geometry and a 100% higher chance of your frontal lobe boiling from neural feedback.
- Interrogate a Corrupted AI: Try to reason with FAULTLINE, an advanced intelligence currently having a digital breakdown between its corporate NDA and the alien math melting its logic core.
- Uncanny Security Footage: Witness the chaotic final hours of Kepler-442 through corrupted, glitchy FMV security feeds. (Viewer discretion: Contains cheesy B-movie gore and surgical droids that do not accept your health insurance).
- Deep Corporate Worldbuilding: Decrypt classified emails, frantic crew logs, and incredibly cold HR memos reminding the crew that mutating into a geometric hive mind on company time is a direct violation of their contracts.
- 12 Unforgiving Endings: Become a whistleblower, a digital ghost, or succumb to the swarm. Every choice matters, and almost all of them will kill you instantly.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The game seems to be really good, but the potential was not used well enough. I mean, the game is cool but, a game where you have to choose between two options ? That is pretty boring. Unfortunately There isn’t much background music to maintain the tension of the action or the suspense of the scene. I also feel like there are some AI-generated videos, and, that's not very interesting to see. We also can't see the different unlocked endings listed somewhere to remember which ending we got. And we don't know very much more about the lore even if we reach som endings, too bad... I know the game has just been released but I can maybe revise my rating and review if a major improvement is made. Once again, the idea is there but not exploited enough.1 found this helpful
I enjoyed it
The game has some promise as a story telling game, but doesn't explain itself very well. It also sent me back to checkpoint that I had never reached when I hit an ending. Notably, I played 10 minutes and hit two endings already . . . you would think that I had learned something by an ending, but not really.
