Set in a distant, utopian future, Beyond Sentinel begins with rookie pilot Justin on his first day as part of a planetary defense and emergency response team. His assignment is routine: patrol the space surrounding Earth and eliminate dangerous asteroids and debris before they can threaten satellites, stations, or the people below.
Meanwhile, fellow pilot Erica patrols the region around Mars in her own interceptor.
But Justin's first day takes an unexpected turn when Sentinel, a massive research station orbiting Saturn, broadcasts a fragmented distress signal. The transmission reports a catastrophic power failure and missing crew members before communications are lost.
Among the twelve people stationed aboard Sentinel is Lucas, a close friend of Justin and Erica.
With conventional rescue crews too far away to respond in time, Justin and Erica are sent to investigate aboard their high-speed interceptors.
What awaits them at Saturn will turn a rescue mission into a mystery that reaches far beyond Sentinel.
Beyond Sentinel combines horizontal shooter action with cinematic side-scrolling exploration. Pilot Justin and Erica's interceptors through asteroid fields, hazardous debris, and the dangers of deep space, then leave the cockpit behind to explore large, interconnected environments on foot.
Search the darkened corridors of Sentinel, operate machinery, uncover new equipment, overcome hostile threats, and piece together what happened to the station and its missing crew.
Beyond Sentinel features detailed pixel artwork, cinematic storytelling, large scrolling environments, and an original full-length soundtrack.
