Game Description:

Year 2727, the Sun is dieing and the earth suffers from unstable climate changes: In the center of the Antarctica is a huge growing ice wall.

The project: Get a crew and a spaceship to fly to the sun to scan it for more data to find out the reason why the sun is dieing.

But it seems that there is a bigger conspiracy going on.
The (fictitious) World Government which is funding the project and the spaceship, has not actually the real intention that the earth's population will find out the real truth.
The truth could scatter human's worldview which could lead to a destabilisation of  society due to possible mass panic.

In the end of the story, you (the player) will find out what the truth is / what the "Outer Tellerrand" is.




Chapter 1 / Investigation:
Unstable weather conditions world wide. Find the ice wall.

This game is NOT made with an AI!

Spoiler: It is an art game about the philosophical meaning of human existence in our universe, devided in four chapters.  Inspired by the lat. term: "imago mundi" and the ger. term: "Weltanschauung" (eng. worldview). "Tellerrand", a ger. word is used in the ger. idiom: "Über den Tellerrand hinausblicken". Similar to "look beyond the box". In case of this game, the earth is inside of a petri dish of a higher beeing's laboratory. The  "Outer Tellerrand" means the place outside/beyond of this petri dish. "Rim Of The Plate" means the ice wall which sorrounds the earth.
