Centaurus Software are a 4-man team, based in Kent. We first met at Canterbury Christ Church University where we worked on various game projects together, we’ve always got along really well and have become known for being a “powerhouse” team. We all enjoy playing games in our spare time and have dreams of being able to turn our final University project into the first game released under our own indie studio. With strong skills ranging from narrative design to programming, art and animation we’re hoping to learn much more about the business side of game development during Tranzfuser.
We can’t wait to develop Erebus-9 further and envelop our audience in the horror that awaits.
About the project
Seemingly derelict… You awake to find yourself onboard a space station called the “Erebus-9”. A research station that seems to be orbiting a black hole.. All that’s around you is the chilling darkness and otherworldly sounds. At least you’re safe inside your mind… Right?
…Cherish the light for all it’s worth…
“Where is everybody? Is it a dream? A nightmare? I have to find out what happened here… But something doesn’t feel right about this place”.
Explore and unravel the truth behind what happened aboard the Erebus-9 in this retro-industrial, sci-fi reimagining of the famous poem “Dante’s Inferno”. But remember to always keep your wits about you, you never know what lurks around the dark.
Key features:
- A chapter based psychological horror survival experience
- Story rich, puzzle solving gameplay
- Reimagining of Dante’s Inferno
- Inspired by early 2000s console graphics, reimagined through realistic, dynamic lighting and sound
