About
Set aboard a long haul space freighter hurtling towards a star, ULTRASOUND sees players step into the shoes of Medical Officer Dana Voss, as she diagnoses and performs surgical procedures upon a grotesque alien infection which is rapidly spreading aboard the ship.
As the infection grows and begins to take hold, critical ship systems are at risk of failing; only by using an array of surgical apparatus and a portable ultrasound machine to scan, identify and diagnose will Dana have any hope of averting a fatal cosmic collision. New medical tools must be found, upgrades must be made and strange injections must be formulated to deal with ever-expanding growths and unwanted mutations.
This dread-soaked interstellar adventure is laden with difficult decisions and disgusting discoveries that will impact Dana’s journey and shape her ultimate fate.
ULTRASOUND is being developed by two new fathers—Walter Woods (lead developer) and Jason Scalfano (lead artist)—and is inspired by their respective tragic and joyful paths to parenthood. “So many of us know the hope and horror of the ultrasound machine. The mystery. The ambiguity. The flickering image of life and death,” said Walter Woods. “We hope our game captures these difficult feelings and resonates with players.”
