Navigating the environment, slowly piecing together exactly what you’re supposed to do, and then executing that plan is the challenge. If you don’t secure one hand to the wall or a firm handle, then you might find yourself spinning out uncontrollably away from the current objective. Jobs often have you handling tools such as wrenches or flashlights which could easily go flying off if not held onto carefully. Moving each arm is controlled with the two thumbsticks with the L2/R2 triggers acting as the hands. Assembling telescopes, mining for minerals, and growing plants for oxygen are just a few of the assignments given to the player. Players assume the role of a 1970s cosmonaut who’s responsible for tasks which mission control sends them via radio broadcast. However, with zero gravity and physically simulated controls, that’s easier said than done. The player’s job is to maintain a space station. 2pt Interactive wanted to make “a game about cosmonauts, the body, and the absence of gravity”. Heavenly Bodies isn’t a horror game, to be clear, but I did want to partially illustrate the setting that the developers chose. Whatever task or duty assigned is yours and yours alone, so failure, such as being shot out of an unsafe pressurized container into the vast void of space (as seen below) can certainly cause one’s heart to race. The feeling that nobody can come help you. At times it can be terrifying – the loneliness of space. If the tagline from the iconic ’79 movie, Alien, is “In space no one can hear you scream”, then Heavenly Bodies is “In space no one can hear you frantically flailing your arms around reaching for the nearest handle”.
