VENERA 31

About this game

Operator, you have one hour.

The VENERA 31 rover has landed on the surface of Venus. Your task: catalogue the terrain for computer vision training before battery depletion terminates the mission.

WHAT YOU DO:

Operate the rover remotely from mission control. Using a keyboard-only interface — no mouse input required — you navigate the Venusian surface, scan the environment, and classify what the rover's cameras detect.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • Tag surface objects into categories: DUST, ROCK, METAL, COMMON

  • Move the rover by issuing directional commands (forward, back, left, right) and setting movement duration in minutes

  • Switch between vision modes — NORMAL, INFRA (infrared), B&W, REVERSE — each revealing different aspects of the environment

  • Initiate scans when the signal degrades or the camera feed is lost

  • Manage your time — every action consumes minutes from your one-hour mission window

THE ANOMALY:

Among the rocks and dust, the rover may detect something that doesn't match any known classification. For undefined creatures, use tag "HARVESTER".

Previous operators have reported similar sightings. No further action required.

FEATURES:

  • One-hour real-time mission structure

  • Keyboard-only controls (no mouse required)

  • Multiple camera vision modes

  • Stylized CRT / scanline aesthetic inspired by Soviet-era space mission imagery

  • Singleplayer psychological horror experience

  • Approximately 1-2 hours of gameplay
