Dark Sky (previously called Xenotheria) is a single-player, science-fiction role playing game.

Ganymede Games has officially opened sign-ups for players that want to test the game ahead of it’s official release.

If you’d like to register your interest in testing the game starting in 2021, head over to the official website: Xenotheria.com

"We’re very excited to unveil Xenotheria to the world and start getting feedback from a wider group of players. We’re committed to delivering a high quality, single player RPG experience with memorable characters, an immersive world, and strategic combat,” said Ganymede Games CEO Jerry Prochazka.

Ganymede actively involves players in their development process. Last year, they surveyed over 7,500 gamers to gather their preferences and highlight opportunities to improve RPGs.


Here are some of the highlights from the survey:

  • Divinity Original Sin: 2 was the top ranked turn-based RPG across all ranked categories. Final Fantasy 10 and Persona 5 also appeared at the top of the ranking list for most played and best combat systems.
  • 84% of turn-based RPG players prefer to play solo
  • 65% of turn-based RPG players are over 25 years old
  • 70% of players agreed that combat systems in turn-based RPGs can quickly become formulaic
  • Four out of five players believed that compelling characters are very important
  • Most preferred platforms were PC at 53%, Playstation at 18%, Switch at 17%, and Xbox at 4%

“One of our goals with Ganymede is to give players a voice in the development process and the survey was the first step towards that goal. The survey strengthened our conviction that the community for single-player games is still thriving and hungry for new experiences,” continued Ganymede Games CEO Jerry Prochazka.

Ganymede Games is an independent games studio based in Las Cruces, New Mexico founded by industry veterans (Riot Games).

Xenotheria is being developed for PC and console platforms.
