For less than 20 € you can currently get a sci-fi adventure on Steam, which is based on the brilliant book of a famous author.
What game is we talking about? What is meant here is The Invincible. The Adventure is based on the book of the same name by the Polish hard-SF author Stanisław Lem. With the story, however, the book template was not copied, but tells your own story.
The Invincible was developed by the Polish Starward Starward Industries and was released on November 6, 2023. Until February 3, you get the SF adventure on Steam for € 17.99 instead of € 29.99 and thus as cheap as never before (via Steamdb .info).

Stranded on an unexplored planet
What is the game about? In The Invincible you slip into the role of the extremely competent and ingenious astrobiologist Yasna. During a space racing, it with her crew on the still unexplored planet Regis III.
After landing on Regis III. becomes a search mission from the scientific journey: you follow the traces of your lost crew, but the planet is anything but safe. In the course of your trip you will make decisions that lead to one of 11 different ends.
On the part of the gameplay, the Invincible awaits you what players – sometimes neutral, sometimes pejorative – call a “walking simulator”. You spend the majority of the game to roam the planet on foot or with a vehicle. The focus is on exploration, not on action.
What brings its very positive rating on Steam to the game are story and atmosphere. Like the book template, The Invincible deals with a very big question: Why does mankind always draw in places where it doesn’t belong at all? You are busy with the main story for around 6 hours, after 10 hours you saw everything (via howlongtobeat.com).
