There are still mysteries all over this space colony and I cannot wait to find out more. What little hope they have rests in an angry android sick of mankind and its many flaws. These soldiers are facing true terror and most likely their own deaths. It's like Dead Space mixed with Alien, with a bit of Blade Runner thrown in. Roche Limit: Clandestiny takes survival sci-fi horror to a new level. The real closure is the realization of what this means for the rest of the team and holy crap is it scary. Ultimately, we get an unsettling full-page spread expertly drawn by Charles, which you think is the climax of the sequence. This entire scene steadily builds the tension as the crew members head deeper into the forest. ![]() After getting a peek at what the mind-altering plants are capable of, things get bloody. The forest is where Roche Limit jumps into the terror department, and it does so in leaps and bounds. This is especially trying on Kim, who saw an entire family that she could have had had her life gone a different course. When you're snapped out of it, you can't tell which version is real because it feels as if you've lived both lives.

We're not zipping around on jet packs and flying cars. Humanity reached the stars, but didn't really do much with them. It's not a story filled with hopes and dreams. This is what sets Roche Limit apart in the sci-fi genre. There's a great line where Danny tells them, “I've seen a dozen of you humans go into that forest, and not one has returned with a cure for cancer.” He points out that the soldiers are mistaken of its dangers because they think everyone's desires are good. The forest that the crew must pass through shows your innermost desires. He's a very interesting character, as he's a better human being than anyone in the book. Danny is not attacked by the planet's inhabitants, as he's not really alive, so he's able to guide them to safety. ![]() They're joined by an android named Danny, exiled to Roche Limit after he allegedly killed an infant. After their spaceship crashed on the Roche Limit colony on the planet Demeter orbiting a strange anomaly in the sky, the crew is looking for a way home as well as some answers. This is where Roche Limit: Clandestiny jumps into crazy sci-fir horror and delivers in spades. It's quite another to be forced to battle your own mind as you struggle with what's real around you.
