Sightings of Beyond

A Voices of the Void/Signal Simulator tribute fan project

 After a recent encounter with something undeniably non-human, you are forcibly reassigned to a long-abandoned government SETI program—Project SILO—revived solely to keep you contained and quiet.

You play as Dr Kai Mercer, an untrained, non-certified civilian whom the government labels “Doctor” for convenience and credibility. With no real preparation, you're dropped into a valley near the coast in southern California. You are stationed in a facility that was used to detect ocean UFO and UAP anomalies back in the 90s, when its previous technician mysteriously vanished without a trace.

Your task is simple on paper:
Monitor strange phenomena, use your radio to relay your own audio to space with accurate responses back, and document potential other-planetary activity with your camera.
In practice, nothing about the valley, ocean,  or Project SILO feels safe, stable, or truthful.

v0.1a includes 14 story days, multiple random events tied to how you personally interact with the unknown, 30+ anomalies to capture with the camera, hidden story details throughout the map, plenty of Easter eggs, and 10+ Hours of gameplay per playthrough. 

What to maybe expect later (If I do update again)

• More story progression + days

• More language options (very soon to be added)

• random FPS drops due to CPU issues (currently fixing that, due to Unity culling being shit)

• FMOD audio implementation (Soon to be added)

• Reworked models

• More interactable items, props

• Quality of life improvements

• Controller support

• More upgrades and power management options

• Better weather details, immersive weather  (Temperature Readings) (v0.2a expected)

• More events and captures
  

• Better optimizations for lower-end systems (More settings options, optimizations, making anything run this game)

• More details around the map, better modeling, filled out base

• 4-player Multiplayer

PS: some GPUs work better on other API's (DX11 is the default and generally runs the best, but that depends on ur GPU), so if u want to change the API, go to settings, then Extra, and then Graphics API, then the game auto restarts.

Thank you for Playing

If u did stumble opon this game and checked it out cool, I might update this game I might not, depending on what people think. This game is just a VotV fan game so I prolly won't do much with it but we'll see
