A downloadable game for Windows

Control a submarine or a diver into the depths of unknown underwater worlds and take photographs of alien animals, plants and artefacts. Continue your journey through this casual, side-scroller, exploration game and collect stars to unlock more secrets before travelling to an alien home planet and play their traditional games.

Based on real research and a hard science-fiction adventure, this game under development enables you to participate in the search for extra-terrestrial life on Enceladus in the Saturnian planetary system... and beyond.

Ever since mankind realised that we are not the centre of the universe, people have sought to find out whether we are alone. We have sent signals, listened out for signals, sent probes, and observed, not just what we can see in the distance, but also what we cannot see with our eyes in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum… 

This is the story of a courageous mission to find extra-terrestrial life in our own solar system, the experiences of amazing people from all over the world, working together as one, to push the boundaries of human knowledge and understanding, while bringing out the best human qualities we have within us.

You can find information on our development team, teasers, gameplay trailers, and sneak peek videos on our YouTube channel and the related science-fiction novels and audiobook on amazon. Please follow us on Instagram and Twitter @thekaiyomission. The Kaiyo Mission is now also on Steam.
