'Pollen' (ALL) Reveals Alternate History Timeline, Looking To Get Greenlit - Screens & Trailer

Inspired by Science Fiction Classics Solaris and 2001: A Space Odyssey, P.O.L.L.E.N. is a first person exploration virtual reality adventure.

P.O.L.L.E.N places the player inside the space suit and helmet of a space mechanic in a fully interactive world where each object has a functionality and action.

P.O.L.L.E.N is a first-person space exploration game set on Titan, the sixth and largest moon of Saturn and the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere and vast liquid seas, where life may exist. In P.O.L.L.E.N the player is sent as a replacement for the space company Rama Industries mechanic who was lost on this moon in a work related accident. Once there he is to join the four remaining personnel of the research station M to continue their work with the unknown object they have discovered below the Titanian crust. Inside the research station each step forward leads to new discoveries about the fate of the crew and the secrets that they have uncovered.


P·O·L·L·E·N is a strikingly beautiful first-person psychological thriller where everything is interactive. All the objects and machines you see can be lifted or operated, some have secondary actions or even hidden features” said Olli Sinerma, Co-Founder of Mindfield Games. “The game has been optimized to offer the definitive first person experience at the launch of consumer VR - however, we are most excited about how the players will react to the story and uncover the mystery of Research Station M”.

The alternate history of P·O·L·L·E·N begins in 1963, after the failed assassination of President Kennedy. NASA and Soviet space researchers begin to work together and in the 70’s establish a permanent base on the moon. Space technology keeps advancing at a booming rate, with inventions like anti-gravity making it possible to lift objects cheaply into orbit. Rama Industries is one of many pioneering organizations expanding the human frontier. Despite occasional hardships, they push forward and search for new opportunities in space. Most recently, the findings on the Saturnian moon Titan have proven to be particularly interesting, where the research of Station “M” has taken the spotlight. A five person research team has been working at “M” for one year, expanding the base and making wondrous discoveries until two months ago, when one of the technicians went missing in a work related accident, requiring a replacement.

Can you uncover the secrets of Titan?

Mindfield Games announced that the Steam community can now vote for P·O·L·L·E·N  with the launch of the Steam Greenlight campaign.
