Astrophobia
Boris Bacic et David Viergutz2024

“God? No. This is more powerful than God. This is technology.”

Captain Neal Cunningham is on the brink, one drink away from ruin. Space work isn't what it once was. Adrift, he's approached by a benefactor with deep pockets who offers him a prize no man could refuse—a glimpse of hope, a future. Despite suspicions, he reluctantly agrees, summoning his old crew for one final job.

What they encounter is beyond horrifying: Aperture Mining have constructed the most advanced planetary drilling station above the deep space planet Magna Prime.

The station, once home to hundreds of workers and their families, are now gone or dead. Records show Aperture uncovered something buried deep beneath the planet's surface.

Something they brought aboard the station …

Something that distorts their perception, warping what they see, hear, and even think …

Something that wants Neal and his crew to stay on the station forever …
