“Everything is bending. Time. Light. Me. I see Earth. I see the first fish crawling onto land. I see my own birth. Control, I understand now. The Exo isn’t a vehicle. It’s a perspective. A way to see.”

“It’s not pulling me down. It’s pulling me… forward. I see light. Not sunlight. Older light. Control, I’m going in.”

(Sound of rising harmonic tone, then silence.) (A long, silent drift through interstellar void. Then:)

Here is the full text of the opening narrative and key story segments from Exo One (developed by Exbleative). Note that Exo One is a minimalist, atmospheric game with no traditional dialogue or cutscenes. Instead, the story is conveyed through a series of cryptic, mission-log style transmissions and voiceovers that play during specific planetary stages.
