Alone With You for Mac

Brief synopsis

Alone With You is a sci-fi puzzle-adventure that places you on a dying terraforming colony as its final survivor. With the planet collapsing around you, your goal is to repair the only functional escape pod before it's too late. To succeed you must reconstruct important colony personnel using limited resources and solve complex puzzles that reveal why the settlement failed.

World and story details

The game’s setting is a failing habitat — empty corridors, failing systems, and traces of the people who once lived there. Exploration slowly uncovers the colony’s secrets and the events that led to its downfall. The narrative blends suspense with emotional beats, so uncovering the truth also means confronting the relationships you build along the way.
