This ambitious project blends deep storytelling, survival crafting, and eerie planetary exploration. After going independent in 2023, Goose Byte has partnered with **Spiral Up Games** for the PC release and **Flat2VR** for the upcoming virtual reality version. Now, the studio is turning to fans to help **supercharge development** through a crowdfunding campaign with meaningful backer rewards and exclusive content.

With no immediate way home, your only option is to explore, survive, and understand why you were summoned to Sirenis in the first place. The gameplay offers a tense and meditative balance between survival mechanics, **scavenging, crafting, and upgrading,** and rich, story-driven exploration. Sirenis isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a character in its own right. From lush glades to searing canyons, the world is both beautiful and dangerous. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a3/ec/a3eca723-12fa-420a-82c8-9461bd427c84/content/images/2025/09/Base_Powerlines_WM.png) ## **Kickstarter Details: How Fans Can Shape the Story** Launching on **September 30**, the Kickstarter campaign aims to fund **enhancements** that will deepen both the survival systems and the emotional narrative.

The game invites players to piece together the story of Sirenis and uncover why the planet drew them in. ### **Survival Meets Strategy** Players must **scavenge** resources, **craft** tools and equipment, and **adapt** to the alien environment. Whether you're building shelter or modifying your suit, every decision matters. ### **Relics with a Purpose** One unique mechanic is the ability to discover **planetary relics**—mysterious artifacts with strange powers. Return them to their rightful places, and you'll uncover more about Sirenis' secrets (and unlock game-altering benefits). ### **Custom Vehicles** Travelling across Sirenis isn’t a walk in the park. You’ll need to **customize your vehicle** for rough terrain, sandstorms, and potential threats.
