Project Enceladus — A psychological sci-fi thriller built solo in UE5

What if solving a murder meant diving into the killer’s mind?

Project Enceladus is a first-person psychological thriller and sci-fi platformer, built almost entirely solo in Unreal Engine 5.

You play as a detective who enters the simulated mind of a murderer aboard a deep-space research station. The environment itself reflects his mental state — calm and eerie at first, then increasingly fractured, distorted and dangerous as you approach the moment of the crime. Color, light and music shift with his psyche.

Key mechanics: telekinetic puzzle solving, drone control, scan system, advanced movement.

Hello @T0maytoe ! Welcome back to posting with us here on the forums!

This take on a puzzle game is so unique! The idea of diving into the killer’s mind to progress is so unique, and the environments are phenomenal. I can already see the love and care put into this game and cannot wait for it to come out!

Certainly going to wishlist it and share it with my friends. :star_struck:

Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot to me! I’m glad you’re enjoying what you see so far. And thank you in advance for sharing it with your friends — it helps more than you’d think, getting the game in front of people who actually appreciate story-driven puzzle games with a bit of that old-school charm — think Portal, or the more recent Q.U.B.E. titles.

I’ll do my best to live up to the expectations and make something truly memorable! :smiley:
