BLACK BEACON (2021)

There's an intergalactic space station out there bigger than our solar system where  wants everyone to come along and meet up. The beacon made it sound like a utopia, but what Niko finds upon her arrival is a lawless expanse where everyone is out for themselves and she's so late she doesn't even have a seat at the table. A story of survival, truth, and experience lies in front of Niko if she can figure out who to trust and what to do before the secret of her journey catches up with her.

After arriving at what was supposed to be salvation, Niko explores plates of the Dyson Sphere to discover the only currency available is survival. Just because she's on the other side of the universe doesn't mean she's going to find acceptance or assistance in any greater volume than what she left behind on Earth. Among the arcane healers and war-mongering aliens of this intergalactic refugee station, Niko will need to figure out who she can trust, and if she can trust herself to make that decision.

Niko finally gets some answers about the Sphere as she travels inside it to meet the army of robots that clean and tend to its maintenance. Unfortunately, this means she must also give up answers, and having her sole friend see how horribly beats the heart of man is a tough reveal. Thankfully all introspection will meet action as the Xed show their hand in the dirty war they wage.

"Niko discovers some secrets of the sphere. Unfortunately, some of those secrets also find her. The interstellar smash hit from Sebastián Piriz (Disaster Inc., Canto) and Ryan K Lindsay (Eternal, Everfrost) starts to speed towards its absolutely universe shattering finale."

"Niko continues to fight to discover the true story of the sphere. She learns about some buried secrets, and this means the secrets also learn about her. Can she survive when the builders of the beacon arrive to harvest the crop they have sown?"

Everyone is dying. Niko and Bar resolve who they are, and what they want, and they act with truth in the final moments of this absolute disaster! Will the Black Beacon have been the biggest catastrophe in the universe, or will a silence of calm replace it? All paths converge in a conclusion so galactically shattering it will leave you questioning whether the right thing was done or not. Sebastian Piriz [Disaster Inc., Canto] and Ryan K Lindsay [Eternal, Everfrost] conclude this interstellar journey about discovery of what's out there in the cosmos and how it differs from what's in our hearts.
