Story

After a space freighter is attacked and crashes onto a strange, uncharted planet, a lone survivor is left stranded amid its hostile wilds. Cut off and hunted by the world's ever-growing swarms of monsters, the survivor must scavenge the ship's scattered cargo for gear and fight to stay alive. With danger mounting the longer they linger, the survivor races to locate a teleporter and find a way off the deadly planet before its horrors overwhelm them.
