the sole survivor of a nuclear war. In the one world where it's snowing, there is what appears to be a world map covered in blinking lights. There are also two missiles still in their silos, but the other silos are empty.

Before this game a colony of humans left the earth ( and the solar system. Ultimately the colony failed. The sole survivor returned to are solar system looking for hope her on earth. He finds an abandoned space station and is curious. Inside he finds 4 teleporters.

This theme isn't just limited to the main character, though. Think about one of the morbid discoveries in particular: Namely, the nuclear missiles. A lot of people think that nuclear weapons should never have been invented. However, it wasn't specifically the intention of society to create them; it was largely a side effect of the pursuit of science. In the name of exploration, discovery, and just trying to understand more about the world, we happened to learn how to manipulate the laws of nature to create high-powered weapons. Unfortunately, now that this knowledge has been made available to the world we can't just get rid of it; we have no choice except to live with it, as an uncomfortable fact of reality.

I wonder if it was the power sourse itself that killed the creature. It certainly looks like the power source "drilled a circular hole through the creature and lodged itself in there.

If he's the only person left, why would he say "There is too much noise?"

The goddess created some worlds, but all they achieved was to start fighting with each other, and their only driving force seems to be to create better ways to kill. She is driven mad by the noise and retreats to a lonely facility to try to regain control of her senses. She sleeps for many centuries. Eventually she wakes (alone, as always) and sets out to see if any of her creations remain. There is only a small part of each world she created remaining, and she finds nothing but evidence of destruction. In despair that she could not create a more noble form of life, she takes the remaining seeds of worlds, and blasts herself with them into the sun.

The world with all the water. How the green liquid mixes with the rest of the city's water, and flows through the whole city. It's all very interesting, though.

The game is about the concept of Exogenesis, i.e. the theory that life on Earth has been transferred there from somewhere else.
Our character was part of a science team from a distant planet. They came up with some technology to create life on other planets (the orbs). When their planet started to near its end (global war or something) they were sent out to spread their race to other planets. They chose 4 planets where they placed their life devices and then went into artificial coma for a long time to see how the planets would evolve.

After awakening they checked out the planets and saw that the people on each of the planets managed to destroy themselves through war (=alien carcass), pollution (=city with green goo), nuclear weapons (=snow world) and exploting nature (=planet broken to pieces).

They realize that there is no point in spreading their race, because eventually every new population would destroy itself anyways. They all commit suidice and the player character is sent on a last mission to retrieve the life devices from each planet, after which he kills himself.

the things arent teleporters, they are virtual stimulators. he goes into them and sees different possibles fates and thinks about how thess will eventually and then shoots himslef into the SUN

that the man was looking at certain planets that had been destroyed by humans. earth got polluted.earth 2 got destroyed by nuclear winter.earth 3 got destroyed by an alien eating them all then the alien dies.and earth 4 gets destroyed by erosion on the inside so he needs to tell earth about this so he gets information discs from each planet and goes to fly to earth but he accidentally flies into the sun and gets destroyed with the information

It was March 30, 2030 when the message came. I had been up in the station for the past four years, monitoring the outer rings of the solar system for comets that could have been dangerous to Earth. After a strange meteor had passed my ship, my transmission had been cut off and my station damaged. I remember my heart pounding with excitement when I responded. Before I could say a word, however, a man spoke to me in a rasping voice. The transmission was choppy, but I understood him well enough.

"The creature came...we attacked. Nuclear war...pollution took over...I- I activated the teleporters...collect the memory orbs...flee...you're- you're our only hope..."

At this, the transmission ended. My heart sank. What did he mean, "The creature came"? Could that meteor have been...?

I shook my head. There was a procedure that I had been taught, that everyone in the military had been taught. In case of catastrophe, visit Earth and collect the memory orbs. The memory orbs contained all memory of our race and always hid in the places with the most important information. These were to be frozen for light travel in order to establish human societies on other planets by convincing aliens to raise the DNA encased in these orbs. How exactly they worked was a great secret, as it seemed quite silly to expect aliens to raise another species. That, however, was no concern of mine.

I began descending. It was quite a walk down to the teleporters. The scenery was majestic, but it was impossible to appreciate. Could everyone really be gone?

Finally, I reached the teleporters. There were four of them there, each with its own color. I closed my eyes and spun in a circle, and found myself facing the white one.

"White it is," I muttered to myself. The silence was deafening. The thoughts nagging at the back of my head created too much noise.

I stepped into the portal. My head spun for a moment, and in a flash I was somewhere else.

There was snow everywhere. I climbed through icy caves, feeling more alone than I ever had. Where had everyone gone? Then, I saw something that no one should ever see, should ever have to endure.

Missile silos. And two of them were empty.

Horror flooded through me. How could we have done this? Even if the missiles had killed the monster, the radiation would have destroyed our environment. But surely...

I shook off the urge to faint, and trudged on. I climbed higher and higher on the snowy peaks, and finally spotted the memory orb.

It was a shimmering blue sphere about the size of my head. As I took it in my hands, memories flooded my mind for an instant, memories of war. The creature had come, and panic had ensued. The creature did not attack: at least, not until we attacked it. It bellowed tremendously, and began to come forward. Blackness came over me. When I awoke again, I was in the lab. We hadn't given the beast a fair chance. Now it was over.

But I couldn't give up hope now. I had to go on. I climbed up the small ledge and walked into the green teleporter.

I was instantly blinded by a bright light coming from far away. I was in a clearing filled with floating rocks. I was astounded! They hovered peacefully, as if nothing was wrong. I began to climb.

Finally, I reached the top. There was another memory orb glimmering in the light like a diamond. I clasped it in my hands.

My mind was filled with explosive light as the shockwaves from the nuclear missile hit the clearing. The rocks were blasted into the air. Screams echoed in my ears. The rocks were hanging in midair, as if holding their breath. With a start, I opened my eyes, and I was back in my station. I climbed into the next teleporter. This one was blue.

The sound of gurgling water met my ears. There was the foul stench of death in the air. I began to explore.

It was a decaying city powered entirely by water. I wondered where everyone had gone. Then I saw it.

There was radioactive liquid oozing from every nook and cranny. The water was tinted green by it. I thought fleetingly of stopping it up, but what good was it? There was no one left to save.

I thought desolate thoughts as I touched the memory orb. Nothing mattered any more.

I saw exactly what I had just seen: radioactive ooze leaking out of buildings. Anyone who wasn't killed by the initial shock died of radiation poisoning soon after. A second later, I was in the lab. Only one memory orb remained. I entered the red teleporter.

I was inside a creature the likes of which you cannot imagine. It had been stabbed in many places and dried blood was everywhere. The stench of rotting flesh was overpowering. I crawled through its carcass, seething with anger. And yet I could not help but pity the beast, for it was the folly of man that led to the end. The end of everything. Besides, what good was hating it? Nothing mattered anymore. Nothing was worth living for. I touched the last memory orb without feeling, without caring. It was all over.

I felt a stab of immeasurable regret as I watched the explosion. I opened my eyes to the station. It was time to finish things.

Man did not deserve to live. I was bruised and scraped from my travels, and my red dress was in shreds. It didn't matter. If the memory orbs started life again, history would only repeat itself. Now I press the drive overload button. Destination: the sun. Mankind will never rise again. History will never have a chance to repeat itself. It is the time for silence.

I am our race's Memory Keeper. I live, secluded, on a space station. If anything goes wrong, I have a portal to each of the worlds we have created at my disposal. Suddenly, while I was having my dinner, I heard general chaos, sounds that appeared to be leaking through the portals. I retreated to my sleep-dome to escape the noise. It's too loud. I slept. I awoke, still in my sleep-dome. The noise had ended, but echoed loudly in my head. But...I couldn't remember anything at all! I had to go see the others on our worlds! I talked to myself as I made my way down to my portals. I would visit our 4 worlds now, see what had happened & why everything had gone so dead, cold, silent. I went over to my white portal, the portal to the land of Beginnings. I called, "Hello? It's me, Thinker!" (Yep, that's the name of the Memory Keeper!) The emptyness echoed back: 'Thinker! Inker! Nker! Ker! Er! Er! R! r...' The echo faded away. I explored around. It was...snowing? Impossible. Snow is cold, unlike this heavy flake falling on my skin. The sky was grayed...I walked underground, to where the Master had once lived. The Master & his Generals ruled our worlds. But not a trace of them was to be found. There was a map of the galaxy our race owns, with small dots lit on it. Then, I proceeded. "Whoa! That's new." I was so surprised, I spoke aloud to myself. I was the only one there to hear myself. There, before me, lay what the Master & Generals had made during the years I had spent in my secluded home. A base for the exceedingly dangerous weapons they had been planning. I knew of those plans, helped write them before I was relocated to my station. They were supposedly for self-defense only, never to be used wantonly. 2 of the huge missile pods were gone, charred metal under where they had launched from. I left the underground, heading to a rocky crag where one Memory Orb was. It contained all the memory of the Beginning world, for me to take to my station. I took it, spinning back to my home. My head flooded with thoughts that were not mine...They had heard a groan, enormously loud. Screams, a confused *snort?*, chaos. The Highest General ran to the missiles, jabbed LAUNCH on 2 of them, ran. There the Orb cut off. I was back in my own mind. I was confused, not quite understanding what had transipred. I quickly went to the portal of the Flow planet. I saw radioactive green sludge leaking from every nook & cranny, but it wouldn't harm me. It was aged, as I could tell by the stench of rotting fish. This particular planet had been the most advanced in technology, & full of the smartest. The underground water sources that had powered their masterful creations were infected with the green stuff. I took a chain-mover upward, where I encountered a Memory Orb. I took it, seeing many scientists talking as they worked on a massive missile. "Oh, won't the Master be pleased with our project?" "Yes, it's nearly finished, & well before the deadline!" "Our final one is nearly finis-Oh crap." The machinery helping their labors exploded, exploding with radioactive green slime. The people in the streets screamed, trying to escape the powerful radiation. The planet was empty within seconds...I awoke on the floor of my place, drenched in sweat. Well, now for the world of Truth...It had always been small, almost nonexistent. The little land there was, I knew, was on top of a deep void, an enormous pit. At the bottom, what would I see? I stepped into the portal...I was standing on-"Eeewww!" Something big, purple, & soft was underfoot! I climbed around, discovering that the land of Truth had a monster resting in its bowels. It was dead, blood oozing from gargantuine wounds about the size of those missiles...Right in the center of the creature's skull, I saw the Orb. Touching it, I was the monster. I came from my cave, wanting to make friends with the beings above me. I spoke to them, but they screeched horribly at the sight of me. I tried to show them I was good, slowing my movements & grinning widely, but there was a huge, long, weapon streaking out of the sky toward me! It went right by me, though, Weird. Another came, now finding its target! I roared as I tried to fight it off, but it thudded between my shoulder blades...The darkness rose up & dragged me down. I awoke with a start. Now, for the world of Hope. The world of Hope was always peaceful. But what would I see now? I steeled my nerves & jumped in. I was on a floating rock. Hope had always been a solid chunk of rock, what had happened? I jumped up, toward the light from above. I found the orb, after leaping up the floating rocks that now composed Hope. I touched it. The Hope people were enjoying a happy gathering, a fair. Suddenly, a misfired missile streaked out of the sky, hitting Hope. The people were dead, but the planet, now blown into hundreds of peices, was beautiful. The sun of Hope stayed, lighting the world. But I was still in Hope. I removed a rubber ball from my pocket, dropping it down off my chunk of rock. As it bounced, I said, "I, Thinker, hereby rechristen this planet Beauty, as my final significant act in this universe." I had renamed the planet, something I could do once, & only when I was not going to do anything else. If I kept humanity going, used the Incubus Dome in my home, we would just start another vicious cycle. These Orbs would not be used for that. It was time to give the universe the gift of silence. I grasped the Orb, saying, "Take me home, Orb of Hope." I spun back home, then seated myself in front of my navigation console. I said to the voice-activated machinery, "The Lava, now. Let the entire ship & everything & everyone aboard fly into the Lava." I knew I would die, but it would leave the universe in peace. We flew toward the planet we had named Lava. I should say I;I was the only living thing aboard the ship. We tilted into a dive toward the Lava...

A member of the alien race that invaded Terra. Terra was the second Earth, the first being destroyed by what may have been the same alien species.
This particular member was captured for study, and was rent apart by the scientists in a brutal surgery on a lifeform that was not fully understood. The noble beast was merely fleeing from the carnage before stumbling upon a military troop. His innocence didn't matter to science. Why should it?

Luna was the artificial third moon-sized orbital colony built by humans. It had heavy weaponry systems as well as the 'Death Ring', the largest collection of nuclear arms in human history. The unnamed invaders saw the weaponry of Luna as a prime target, and so they invaded. After battling their way to the colony's surface, the alien inadvertently set off the 'Death Ring'. The strike force was mostly wiped out, but 2 billion human citizens were atomized or died of nuclear fallout as a result. The terraformed ecosystem slowly died out, until it eventually collapsed and the colony became mostly devoid of life.

Mining colony 12 was an enormous asteroid that nearly crashed into the original Earth before the first invasion. It was stopped using newly discovered kinetic manipulation technology (KMT). The asteroid was found to be rich in uranium, and since the majority of human technology was powered by radioactivity drives, the asteroid was kept on permanent kinetic tether and used as a mining base. Several millenia passed, and the second invasion came. After destroying Luna, the invaders enacted their plan B, IE, using their own kinetic tether to swing the radioactive mass into Terra. After replacing most of the mine workers with synthetic androids, the aliens inserted antimatter weapons into the asteroids core and sent it speeding towards the planet. The resulting catastrophe smashed off a chunk of Terra itself and left Mining Colony 12 on its surface, serving as a point of entry for the invaders.

All hope was lost with the destruction of MC12. Most inhabitants fled in space colonies, desperately searching for a habitable planet. The remaining organized a last stand of defense inside an underground complex. Using the most advanced stealth technology available, the humans attempted to hide underground permanently, all the while amassing nuclear arms in an attempt to launch a final attack to destroy the invaders.
It took one android.
One android found the underground colony. The nuclear arms were not safe.
One radioactivity leak ended the human race. Permanently. It wasn't noticed at first, the colony continued to prosper. Then came the diseases. Radiation poisoning spread through the colony like wildfire. They were left with three choices: Die of thirst, die of radioactivity, or try their luck on the surface. All 3 options were suicide. All the citizens smashed their technology, burned the nuclear arms, and repented before their god. There was nothing they could do.

Les awoke. His cryostasis tube had been smashed. His comrades were gone. Kidnapped? Disintegrated? Who knows?
Les got his emergency oxygen suit on and explored the wreckage of his ship. Broken memories flashed through his head... Explosions. Blood. Prayer. Horrific alien beasts. He could barely concentrate.
At the end of his search he found a room. He decided to enter, descending slowly down the ladder.
He found pictures. Pictures of the carnage that had happened before. Of his experience at the army hospital. Luna. MC12. Terra. Memories snapped together, fitting like pieces of a puzzle.
There was only one way out of this station.
'Silence'.

perhaps he is plagued by insanity and thus hears the voices of all those lost...

I see a world that fell into nuclear armageddon, with five missing missiles for five targets on the map (I just noticed crosses planted on the surface, in the distant background-- graves???); a planet that blew itself up entirely, and there's not even enough of it left to know what happened; a noble city that lost its identity, its health, and then its population in the ongoing rush towards modernization, boxy skyscrapers to the sides, with its older now-abandoned waterwheels still running as grandly as ever; and a big space monster that we destroyed. For me the space monster is the very saddest. I think we're supposed to mourn this dead thing, to get past its appearance and feel the wretched death of a fellow being. It was once powerful and alive, and with a quick stomp of weaponry it could never have understood, we ended everything for it. Like the end of "King Kong." Maybe we had to kill it in self-defense, or maybe not; I like the idea that it came along not looking for a fight but got slaughtered because of how scary it looked. And even if it was eating people and we had to kill it to save ourselves, the corpse is a sad thing to behold. Floating out in space, alone and dismissed. I see a reminder here to love thine enemy. Wouldn't a creature like this, any creature, once have known love? What do you suppose it felt while it died? Did it do any good really to save ourselves from a beast when we couldn't save us from ourselves?
As for the "too much noise", and then "silence", I feel sure that the noise is our little protagonist reliving the nightmares that brought him/her to this place. Survivor's guilt. Having nothing else to focus on but memories. And then flying into the sun to bring an end to the suffering. God this is a sad game. And I adore it.

I wake up from a looooong sleep. I think i slept for centurys. I rechieve an old messege (again) on my radio. it sais: The creature (unreichieveble words) fired missles... people killed... all worlds will corrupt... get here... fast... and then the message ended. I don't know who or what spoke it. The alarm rings and i need to get my oxygen or else even i will die. I activated the teleporters and got into the green one, representing "Hope". It was changed by something. normally it was just a solid rock and people were everywere. Now it's quiet and there were rocks floating everywhere. I found the memory orb and saw what happened. A missle (maybe coming from Winter Wonderland) got over to "Hope" and killed everybody. Also, with the giant explosion, Hope exploded into hundreds of pieces. I saw everybody dieing and Hope exploding. I opended my eyes and i saw i was back in the laboratory. I got into de blue teleporter. Then i saw a city. It was not a normal city because it was corrupted. Green, radioactive slime drope down from some windows and nothing that i could do about it. But was it worth doing something about it? I don't think so...
