The year is 2321, Earths population has spread out into space. Mega-corporations have built space stations throughout the galaxy.
You have not long arrived on-board a Citadel class space station owned by the Federal Defence Union (FDU). The main function of this Citadel is scientific research and development.
The night you arrived, the stations Artificial Intelligence (AI) was beginning to malfunction. And now, only one week later, the Citadel's main power has just shutdown, and the backup generator has come online.
The doors won't open, communications don't work, and you can hear some unusual noises from other parts of the space station.
Can you escape before the backup generator goes offline and you're trapped on-board forever?

From the second the game began (an unusual start too) we were fully immersed. The feel of the room, the vibe, the atmosphere, the thumbing and story all grabbed us and we instantly knew this would be a great game. 

Their innovative hint system played into the theme of the room really well and everything flowed so well. The room felt really interactive and the puzzles not too challenging to the point of frustration. There was so much technology in here with so many innovate puzzles and concepts it totally blew us away.

Escape Nation's first game is set in space, and The Citadel is the name of the space station on which you find yourselves. Naturally, all is not well. Genre traditions demand that if you have a shadowy interst...
