Within the Cosmos is a single-player first-person sci-fi RPG. The year is 2278. Humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. As a member of the United Earth Space Agency (UESA), you were one of 500 chosen for cryogenic sleep and launched aboard a starship to the secluded Adallio star system. This hidden refuge, far from the devastating war consuming Earth, was humanity's last hope for survival. But something went wrong. Your ship arrived generations later than planned. Upon awakening, you discover a fractured society. Humanity has splintered into various factions, each with its own politics, philosophies, and ambitions. To make matters worse, a mysterious and deadly android enemy has recently emerged, threatening the fragile peace. Amidst the tension and turmoil, you must navigate this divided world, uniting (or further dividing) the factions and uncovering the truth behind the relentless android attacks. The future of humanity depends on your choices. CREATE YOUR CHARACTER: With the ability to create your characters appearance, pick your attributes, and background, you can truly create a character that is your own. ATTRIBUTES: Distribute your Attribute points to establish the core of your character. Increase your Constitution to enhance your health and resilience. Raise your Dexterity to improve your speed, precision, and reloading capabilities. Invest in Charisma to navigate social interactions effectively. SKILLS: As you level up, you'll get skill points which you can use across 12 skills to fine tune the character you created, allowing you to play as the character you want to play as. Want to extract information through Intimidation? Invest in your Intimidate skill. Prefer to manipulate technology to your advantage? Increase your Hacking skill. HACKING: Use your hacking skills to manipulate nearby electronics. Hack surveillance cameras for visibility in secure locations, access terminals and computers to gather intel, and more. PERKS: As you level up, you will also get access to perks, which will allow you to alter your playthrough in various ways. FACTIONS: Encounter factions with different ideals, beliefs, and morals. Join them, betray them, or destroy them. It's all up to you. EXPLORATION: Explore hand-crafted celestial bodies in the Adallio star system. As you try to unwrap the mystery that has befallen you, you will make choices which will affect the way the story develops; along with how others perceive you, and end game scenarios.

You can engage NPCs in dialogue to gather information, take the stealth approach to sneak past them, or use combat and fight your way through enemies with a wide variety of weapons.
