It's 1897. Deep in international waters, the Helios stands still. Dark clouds loom overhead as unforgiving waves crash against the hull. Colossal effigies of gold, decorated with magnificent finery, stretch as far as the eye can see. Born of Nikola Tesla's vision, the Helios serves as a haven for the greatest scientific minds. An unbound utopia for research, independent from state and isolated from the gaze of society. Free to push the boundaries of matter and time.

A really fun game. There's no shooter elements like BioShock, but they definitely get the thriller elements down. It's more of a steampunk, thriller, first person detective game.

The story is definitely the centerpiece here, but there are lots of puzzles, a few stealth sections, and a couple chase sequences.

Thanks, that sounds right up my alley.

It's a decent walking sim, I got this on Epic for free years ago, it's kind of like Bioshock if you squint really hard and also have never played Bioshock
