The cosmos is tearing itself apart. Wrecks of long-dead starships are full of horrible, interdimensional creatures. The dead roam surfaces of moons, and you're being hunted by technically advanced soldiers.

Welcome to Signal Lost, Screwfly Studios' return to Deadnaut's grim and ruthless future.

While Deadnaut: Signal Lost is situated in the same universe as the original and features similar, mission-based gameplay in procedurally-generated locations, it is not a direct sequel.

You play the role of a remote handler who controls the action "at a distance" via a physical console, however, Signal Lost is focused on a single Deadnaut, rather than a squad.

The action is more intimate and tactical, and you can develop your Deadnaut with numerous suit upgrades and abilities. Furthermore, the gameplay is turn-based, not real-time, which helps focus the action.

We'll have more to reveal in the coming weeks and months, but for now, head over to the Steam page and wishlist Signal Lost to keep up-to-date as development progresses.

With the release of Fear Equation drawing closer, what better time to show you more of the game -- this time in video form! Here's our first trailer, featuring various snippets of gameplay including rigging the lottery, scavenging missions, course plotting and driving the train, as well as a peek at a few of the fear manifestations themselves.

In addition, here's a list of features you'll see the final game:

• Send passengers out into the fog to investigate locations, find survivors and bring back supplies
• Manage defenses, power and resources. But be careful: if you aren't the saviour they need, they'll revolt against you
• Handle disputes between carriage leaders that can end in dramatic events that swing the balance of power between your defenders and detractors
• Monitor your passengers' dreams to discover what kind of horrors will attack the train - and how to defeat them
• Create your own Engineer with perks and flaws that determine your train's starting conditions, as well as the course the game will take
• Do your best to avoid the military as they seek to eliminate anyone caught in the fog
• Interact with intricate machines and devices within a richly detailed, fully 3D cabin

In preparation for the release of the full version, we've made available a technical demo of Deadnaut with a limited feature set.

The primary goal of this build is to test the game on as wide a range of hardware as possible to iron out any platform-related issues, though there is a good amount of content in there for players to try out.

We have two versions for download: Windows and Mac OS X. We're particularly interested in results from users with Macs, but we appreciate any and all feedback regarding technical issues you may encounter running the game.
