Exodus

This is due to time dilation, a phenomenon key to both story and gameplay. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, in simple terms, it involves differences in time measurement due to an object's speed and/or mass.

We play as Jun, a Traveler, tasked with stealing the Celestials' powerful weapon and using it against them. Since she's working against the laws of physics themselves, she must make many difficult choices to accomplish her mission; to save the future, she must abandon the present. She's joined by other heroes along the way, and it's up to our actions and choices how their story will end.

Mechanics

Exodus is a third-person game. The player must complete quests, explore space and fight enemies using futuristic melee weapons, ranged weapons and combat abilities. As we progress, we acquire better equipment and develop our character, becoming more formidable.

The player must be careful while exploring, as time flows differently during interstellar travel. Due to time dilation, what may seem like a few hours or days to us may be years, decades or centuries to our home.

Our decisions also affect our relationships with companions, with whom we can become friends or even lovers. Each companion has their own personality and abilities; they range from veteran soldiers to genetically modified scientists.

Technical aspects

Exodus features high-quality visuals. The audio layer is very impressive, and so is the cast, one of the characters being played by Matthew McConaughey.
