naut

a wordless exploration adventure

an intimate odyssey
through boundless worlds

A lone astronaut wakes with no memory of their mission or purpose.

With no dialogue or HUD, players explore strange places, encounter their inhabitants and piece together who they are.

Beyond them, The Great Nothing is erasing matter, memory and meaning.
