Decrypt

About

Decrypt drops you on a derelict freighter light-years from its intended route. As a data forensics officer you comb the ISS Travan’s halls scanning terminals and sifting through logs to figure out why its crew vanished. The ship’s dimly lit corridors hum with tension as you piece together a fractured narrative of corporate malfeasance and cosmic terror. Exploration drives the experience with each terminal you access peeling back layers of a story that twists from bureaucratic nightmare into something far more disturbing. The game’s 45-minute runtime packs tight pacing and sudden jump scares that linger long after you exit. A haunting original score amplifies the isolation and dread without overpowering the atmospheric silence of the ship. Players on Steam describe it as a “pulse-pounding short film” with one calling the final act “unforgettable.” No large systems here, just a focused descent into unease that delivers maximum impact in minimal time.

Storyline

When a freight ship goes missing and is later found abandoned, you are sent to investigate it to solve the mystery of its missing crew. The ISS Travan is found at a fringe system thousands of klicks off its original course. The GiS Trade Federation believes that its crew has abandoned the ship to evade crippling trade fines in a brutal interstellar economy. You are a Data Forensics officer assigned to investigate the vessel. What you will uncover on the Travan is a far more insidious and horrifying truth.
