"Aphelion is a comparatively small and quiet adventure game, one focused more on storytelling than gameplay. But that also makes it a perfect complement to all of the current blockbusters, offering something much more intimate and approachable."
"In Aphelion's near-future, the Earth is very close to becoming uninhabitable, but a recently discovered planet called Persephone has the potential to be humanity's next home."
"Two astronauts, Ariane and Thomas, are sent to investigate just how viable the planet is. Naturally, things go wrong almost immediately."

The game emphasizes storytelling over gameplay, providing a more intimate experience compared to the recent influx of blockbuster games in the sci-fi genre.
