How it begins

The game begins with you hammering against a space station's wall. You discover that the space station is heavily damaged, though you don't remember how or why it happened, and you're trapped in some of the wreckage.

Trivia and Comments

The name of the escape pod, "Predpriyatie", is a Russian word roughly meaning "Enterprise".
