Darkstar: The Interactive Movie (2010)
A Gripping Tale of Murder, Deception, and Amnesia
In the year 2047, the starship Westwick is drifting through space, its crew in cryogenic sleep. Among them is Captain John O’Neil, who awakens with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Beside him are three other sleep chambers. One is empty. In another lies a beautiful woman, still in hibernation. The final chamber contains a 300-year-old corpse.
The ship’s computer, Westwick Main, has also had much of her memory deleted by someone unknown. With no way to contact Earth or any other ships, O’Neil is stranded and alone.
As O’Neil explores the Westwick, he begins to piece together the mystery of what happened. He learns that the ship was on a mission to investigate a distress signal from a distant planet. The crew was attacked by unknown assailants, and O’Neil was the only survivor.
But as O’Neil digs deeper, he begins to realize that nothing is as it seems. The beautiful woman in the hibernation chamber is not who she appears to be. The 300-year-old corpse is not as dead as he seems. And O’Neil himself is not who he thinks he is.
