Space Outpost Silicon One

Space Outpost Silicon One is a fun first-person single-player looter-shooter made by a solo developer. Oh, and has cute cats.

Shoot enemies. Loot enemies. Open crates; get loot. Play with cute cat companion. Just have fun!

STORY OVERVIEW
The shockwave from the supernova swept through the super-secret scientific outpost Silicon One, disabling many of its security measures. The encrypted distress signal from the outpost reaches your employers...

Flying back home through space for a long-overdue vacation your are informed that, being the closest Company employee, your vacation is put on hold and you are to travel to the company's scientific outpost codename "Silicon One" immediately to investigate, make safe the installation, and reinstate its security measures. You are also reminded that your Company contract requires your complete cooperation - refusal will result in loss of many things essential to a person's well-being, primarily the oxygen-recyclers within the Company spaceship in which you currently enjoy your space travel.

Unfortunately, the secret, encrypted, classified transmissions from the outpost have been received by various third parties whom would very much like to get their hands on whatever advanced tech resides in the Company Vault deep within Space Outpost Silicon One and have already obtained many of the access cards that are required to unlock the access doors that survived the 'nova blast. Looks like it's time to put your basic combat training into action: pick up your trusty company-supplied sidearm and get yourself to the outpost to sort out this mess...

Or deploy your companion to take some of the heat. Or loot and equip a cool MeleeMod that melts your enemies. Your choice.
