Opacity: Genesis
A downloadable game for Windows
Opacity: Genesis is a space adventure horror game, with the elements of suspense, little action, story and monster. When the oxygen is depleted, the captain of the ship, who is stranded in space, lands on the mysterious space station, where he finds different unusual object. Most of all, he is intrigued by the "Crystal" found inside the station.
Your mission is to get the oxygen tank and get out of the planet.
Will you survive or will you die? Choice is yours.
This is my 10th project and 3rd Solo game. I am very excited for this release and I hope you enjoy the experience. I want to thank my friends and supporters for keeping me motivated and I deeply appreciate everyone's kindness. Thanks so much, for visiting my page and downloading the game, it means a lot. Especially, considering the fact that, this might be my last game using the BGE, because no one uses it and I need to learn other engine for improving the quality of my future games.
Please, feel free to comment, it helps me a lot. If the game has anything, like bugs or glitches. Also, any recommendations would be nice, especially critique.
Thanks again. Visit my YouTube for updates and also, this game is prequel to my older game Opacity, so, you might want to check it out, if you are curious about the story. Have an amazing experience.
Download
Install instructions
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PLAYING:
After you extract the file, open up the game. The controls are simple:
WSAD - For Movement
Mouse - For looking around
E - click the keyboard button E to interact with anything you want. It will pop the prompt, which is mostly "Space notes" and peaking up object. Try clicking E anywhere you want and the text prompt will appear.
Press Space Bar for jump, if you just click space it will jump, but if you hold for a long time you will float some time. Because you are on the other planet gravity works differently, right.
To start the game or exit the game, press the icon created next to the prompt start, it is highlighted: I start!
Good Luck.

As a prequel to Opacity, this really adds a lot of context to the first game. The gun didn't seem to affect the monster but I couldn't tell if it was a bug or the gun was intentionally useless in order to increase the level of tension during the end sequence. At first I assumed it was a bug and then I remembered that the monster wasn't affected by the gun at the end of Final Contract either. Either way, very good job with this prequel!
The gun is always useless - Niven 😅😅😅
Thanks a bunch for playing my game. I deeply appreciate the feedback. It is always great to see your older games being played, because I know how far I've come and even with newer games, there is something familiar, you know.
Thanks once again for the ongoing support. Cheers!
Hey!
Oh man, I love sequels!
This was a nice step-up since the last one, I liked the atmosphere and the captains log brought the creepiness for me as well as the bodies along the way.
The combat didn't seam to work, the gun was doing the pew-pews but it didn't affect the monster, nor did the monster seem to be able to hit me.
I like that crystal at the end attached to the spaceship, I just went "Nooooooooo!" :D
Lol! Thank you, thank you so much! I feel very blessed that you liked this. Appreciate the feedback so very much 🍻
Man, from the first Opacity you made big steps ahead, good job
I liked this game!
Thanks! Yeah, its been a while. I appreciate your positive feedback. Best to you mate.
Hello, I played this game and I liked it, the concept was interesting, I wish there were more atmospheric sound effects but over all it was fun, good work :)
Thank you very much. I hope you enjoyed your little Easter egg :))
Oh I didn't realize that at first, thank you for that, it was really cool, guess I know some of the answers to what happened there...
Yes. The reason that you actually played the first game, Opacity, inspired me to make a prequel, so the first game follows this one.
Thanks you a lot for checking this out.
I'm glad to hear that, and no problem, good luck with your future projects.
Hey there Niven, I have been trying to play your game but for some reason it will not boot up. Any suggestions?
Hello, thanks for showing interest in my game.
If you have a high performance PC, it's likely that the game has issues, because it's made with BGE, although, many other lower quality PC's do usually boot the game. You just need to press .exe file. As for the problem in the game, the menue shows written words and prompts next to i - little white columns, in order to start the game you click on those columns.
I hope that helps.
Thank you for getting back to me. Hmmmm... Unfortunately not. I went into the game files and search .exe to find the specific file. Every time I try to open the game from the game files, a small window pops up with some text but quickly disappears. I am not exactly sure what the issue is. My pc is in between high and low performance
Usually the problem is starting the game when you actually start the game, unfortunately, nothing else. Maybe some files are missing. Try redownloading it.
gotcha thanks!
Thanks so much for checking it out. Yeah, in the end the game is a bit weird, but well. Thanks.
Thank you very much for checking out my game, I really appreciate the feedback.
Well first off it was hard enough to actually start the game so you need to fix the main menu buttons. Secondly i couldnt get out of the ship at the start (thats when I gave up on this). Ithink you should also make the view of the game bigger through the helmet, it's a nice touch but it makes the gameplay way too small.
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate that. The menu buttons are located on the sides, that's why they have columns, it won't start when you press the start, rather the column next to it. The ship sequence at the beginning is the cutscene, as you can realize because there are no controls for the ship. The helmet is only part of the prologue, it's supposed to feel more claustrophobic, because as you go deeper in the game, you actually don't use the helmet.
I will definitely look into improvement to the game, not to say, next time I will be using an actual, modern working game engine. Thanks a lot!
Pretty cool. Not sure what was up with the gun though :)
Thank you so much for playing, I really appreciate the feedback!
Thank you so much for playing my game! I really appreciate that!
I really did like it, although, I'm not sure if the silly gun was meant to hurt the monster..mine didn't. 🤣It was fun; keep up the good work.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the feedback.
The game's fairly simple as well as the story. It was also nice seeing my easter egg.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. http://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
Thank you so much for playing this, I really appreciate support! Thanks!
I recommend to play the game then watch the video to avoid spoilers!!!
I liked the music in the game, at first I got lost but when get to the second part you realize everything is creepy and as you discover more the messages from the captain gives a good explanation on what's going. And the monster comes at you hard. This was good stuff I wish it was a bit longer maybe with more messages and other planets to explore but so far I like it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME! Try it it's good stuff!Thanks so much for the gameplay, I appreciate the feedback!
Show post...
thank u dev Niven Hedinger lol Easter Egg "queen faith station" ending :P
Thank you for playing the game!! I am happy you got to the end!
Everybody back up... I have a crowbar and I know how to use it.
Thanks for my little cameo, bro! I really appreciate it - and nice game as well! Impressive that you made it in that engine, of all things.
Thank you so much for making time and enjoying my game!
It's an interesting little game. I dig the style. The gun was awful though. Unless it's supposed to be like that. I also had the frame rate drop badly during the monster chase. It was fun besides that though. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for playing my game. It's rough around the edges and yes, the gun is really trashy, but I was aiming for atmosphere. I am glad you like it. I will try to fix the chase sequence. Thanks again, I really appreciate the feedback.
how do i start though?
Hi. You see the menu screen has 2 prompts, there are 2 cubes near it, you press them, one starts the game and one exits the game.
