Developed by Ville Mönkkönen in association with Michael Quigley AKA Quanrian.
Introduction
You have crash-landed on planet Notrium. Your food supplies are running low, a pack of predatory aliens have got your scent. There are no more bullets for your pistol, your only weapon a handful of rocks. The night is coming, and you are desperately looking for wood to make a fire. Notrium is a game of survival. Originally released in 2003.
Survival, Exploration and Action
 |
An integral part of the game is finding enough food and supplies to survive through the cold, dark nights. |
 |
Exploring the alien ruins and bases you can find various items, which can be combined to make weapons and equipment. |
 |
Most of Notrium’s inhabitants are not happy to see you. You can try getting past your enemies quietly, but often you will need either fast legs or a sharp aim. |
