Dark Matter is a 2.5D side-scrolling survival horror game, set in a derelict spaceship besieged by a sinister alien presence, and infested with deadly parasites.

Awaken from cryosleep, the female protagonist (Ensign) traverses the mysterious and empty vessel, the “Endeavor.” Silent and curious, she scours and searches the ship to figure out how to escape the unmanned vessel. Lead by the voice of an omnipresent AI, she eventually discovers various tools and equipment to unlock areas of the ship, a la every game ever classified as a “Metroidvania.”

In this Source-based multiplayer FPS each team may consist of four classes of combatants on the field plus one commander playing from a bird's eye view. The commander can build structures and research upgrades that will let him perform actions on the map such as deploy weapon stashes, launch artillery strikes or cast zone healing.
