Team Miaozi’s upcoming sci-fi action RPG/base management game Cygnus Enterprises is now available via early access on Steam.
About the game
Cygnus Enterprises is set in the far future, where humanity’s ability to explore the galaxy has been stymied by the limitations of spacefaring technology, preventing mankind from spreading its influence to the stars. Players take on the role of a contractor in service to Cygnus Enterprises, who is tasked with restoring a derelict outpost on the remote planet Mytilus and ensuring the safety of its residents. Not everything is as it seems on the planet Mytilus, however, as the player slowly uncovers the secrets of a civilization that existed in the world in ancient times.
