WELCOME TO AHRA PRIME
Shattered Stars rain down across the horizon. A broken fleet lay in shambles across the scorched skies. The surface storms rage as cowering beasts flee into the caverns below. Your supplies are exhausted, your body bruised and broken. The path ahead is one of pain and hardships. Charon beckons you forward. Will you find your way home?
HIRAETH is an immersive single-player survival experience that challenges players to survive and explore the desolate remains of a forgotten planet. Only the strong can survive merciless AHRA PRIME.

You find yourself alone and out of resources on an forgotten planet that seems to be trying very hard to kill you. Scavenge for food and supplies as you try to piece together the mysteries of AHRA PRIME. The voice of the enigmatic Charon is your only guiding light through the seemingly endless abyss. Where will that light guide you? And what awaits you at the end of the journey?
HIRAETH features two distinct gamemode experiences that share survival mechanics.
- HIRAETH – ETERNAL offers a non-narrative, endless survival sandbox.
- HIRAETH – REVELATIONS is our story mode, with each chapter unveiling a greater mystery. Both will test your survival skills, however, REVELATIONS also features moral decisions with outcomes that significantly affect the world.
☵ ETERNAL
Offers an endless, pickup and play sandbox, ending only with the player’s death. Eternal mode will challenge you to survive utilizing your skill and cunning. As you complete challenges, you will be rewarded with skills that assist on future playthroughs. In-game notes can be found, offering lore and additional tips. Tasks can also be completed, such as repairing installations and accessing databases, that aid in your survival.While exploring the endless horizon, you will discover environmental storytelling, hidden secrets, and unimaginable dangers.
☵ REVELATIONS
A fully crafted narrative experience that unfolds over chapters. Awakening on AHRA PRIME, a delirious survivor attempts to uncover the truth. Guided by a mysterious figure, Charon, the survivor must explore the remnants of the colony, delve into labyrinthine caverns, and survive the planet’s harsh conditions. How far will they go in the pursuit of truth?CHAPTER ONE: DENIAL
“On AHRA PRIME, wise men speakand fools decide.”

DENIAL is the first of many chapters in the Revelations. An amnesiac awakens to find the horrors of AHRA PRIME. With the colony in ruin and the settlers seemingly gone, the survivor must brave the harsh planet’s surface in their pursuit of survival. Charon, an enigmatic figure, will guide them.
UNRAVEL THE TRUTH…
If you can survive
EXPLORATION

AHRA PRIME features a diverse landscape, including mountains, coastlines, and canyons. In order to survive, you must traverse the hellish landscape, collecting resources and scavenging for supplies. Deserted Outposts and dilapidated bases act as markers, helping you navigate the seamless open world. As you complete survival challenges, you can earn perks that will assist in future runs.

PERMADEATH

When you die in HIRAETH – ETERNAL, survival free mode, your save and progress is reset. The wrong choice might cost you everything. The mode will also feature difficulty settings, so that each player can tailor the challenges to their liking.
SURVIVAL

HIRAETH features custom, in-depth survival systems. As you explore and fight, you must manage your oxygen levels, thirst, hunger, and negative ailments. Without vital supplies, nourishment, and rest, you will not survive the planet’s harsh conditions.
RICH STORY

Play through a rich storyline as you explore the world while trying to learn the fate of those who came before you. The full story will be released in chapters with the first chapter available upon release.
LIMINAL SPACES

You must traverse the world of AHRA PRIME for life-saving food and gear items, while avoiding the dangerous predators and environmental hazards. Outposts can act like temporary shelters, but when your supplies are exhausted, you must travel onward. Cowards will starve and the brave will become prey. Which are you?
CRAFTING

HIRAETH features a deep, robust crafting system that must be mastered in order to survive. As you find schematics and recipes scattered across the world, you’ll be able to craft items, food, supplies, and weapons.
Tools, workshops, and recycling stations will assist you, as will portable tool sets. Some tasks can be performed by hand, while more complex recipes require specialized machinery, such as a 3D printer.
FULL BODY AWARENESS

For better immersion, we have introduced a full body awareness system. When looking in first person, you will see your character's movements, clothing, equipment, and held items. This will also allow you to determine an item's condition, for items and weapons deteriorate with use.
EVA SUITS

The EVA suit is your lifeline and only means of surviving the deadly environment of AHRA PRIME. As you explore you will come across different suit types such as pilot suits designed for faster traversal or heavy suits built for greater protection. You can also customize your chosen suit with upgrade modules that add additional functionality and further enhance the suit’s unique characteristics.
UPGRADING

Upgrading your tools and equipment will allow you to survive longer and explore further. Shelters can also be repaired and upgraded. Doing so can increase the efficiency of its workstations or unlock entirely new systems.
PROGRESSIVE SKILLS
HIRAETH is not a typical RPG, but everyone learns something all the time. As you gain experience, you acquire different skills. Some will help you survive, others will speed up your work, and others will enable you to perform more complex activities.After achieving some of them, you will receive them permanently, which will make it easier for you to try again - because you definitely won't end up with just one!
UNLOCKABLES
In each playthrough, after achieving certain goals, you can earn permanent Perks that will make tasks easier in the next playthrough. From the acquired ones, you will be able to choose which ones you want to use and later increase the number you can bring with you.The simplest example would be to increase your stamina after walking a certain distance

Hello Survivors!
Its been a week since the last major update, and here comes another one and I think theres a good reason for it. The previous update brought an engine upgrade and huge performance improvements. This time, were taking a big step toward the story mode in Hiraeth: the first substantial quest, complete with gameplay and world changes.
Comm Center Access Quest
This is the first longer, multistage quest in Hiraeth. For now, it still appears in the list as a Task, but soon quests and tasks will be separated properly.
Your goal is to gain access to the Comm Center, and the quest begins during your first inspection of the facility.\n[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/44720610/4e1ba3c305b0d89994e78976d377e8c3a52d06f6.png\"][/img]
This quest will be part of the main storyline leaving Nesoi Island and traveling to another region of Ahra Prime. For now, the reward is access to the Comm Center itself: a large structure with items, workstations, and more.
It requires meeting several conditions
[/*]It includes a few optional, related side tasks
[/*]It has no time limits (a new thing tasks usually do)
[/*]
[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/44720610/01f0d9f8ae49f2710d05ca7ec4ce3ae7da703257.png\"][/img]
As more quests are added to the future main storyline Leave Nesoi, some elements may change so you can experience new content, but the core idea will remain the same.
For leaving Nesoi, Im planning around 15 ingame days of tasks for a speedrun. Many of them will have no time limits, and soon they will also depend on the selected difficulty level.
IMPORTANT: Due to major systemic changes, starting a new game is required. Using old save files may cause errors and prevent quests and objectives from functioning correctly. I apologize for the inconvenience this is, unfortunately, something that can happen in a rapidly evolving Early Access game.
Changes on Nesoi Island
A new station related to the Comm Center quest, along with connected details like cables running from the Comm Center
[/*]More intense overall world colors on Nesoi; multiple presets (cinematic, dystopian, etc.) are in the works
[/*]Corrected large antenna on the Comm Center
[/*]As seen in the quest, an early version of the energy management system for objects and devices has been added this system will be expanded and used frequently later on (not always for quests this complex)
[/*]Numerous foliage changes on Nesoi (including rocks and similar elements) and terrain/landscape adjustments
[/*]During testing I noticed some foliage rocks lack collision Im skipping this for now, since the entire foliage setup on Nesoi will be replaced soon anyway
[/*]
Other Changes
I focused almost entirely on the quest, which required a lot of coding and systemic adjustments. Other changes were postponed, except for the ones below.
Navigation & Performance
I made several changes to the navigation system. In Unreal Engine, you can currently choose between a very stable setup (no engine crashes) or a very performant one that heavily loads the system. As you can see, I managed to create a lightweight and stable version no crashes despite many hours of quest testing. In many areas, performance is even better than before, which was already very good compared to other Unreal Engine games.
Equip Crowbar From Inventory
You can now equip the crowbar directly from the inventory, not only when picking it up from the world. It generally works fine, but the entire weaponhandling system will be reworked soon. This was added at the last moment and may need tweaks.
Weapon Jamming Condition Changes
Hiraeth has a detailed procedural weapon jamming system, but settings and actual randomness dont always align. Jams could occur even just below 90% condition and cleanliness, despite the theoretical chance being almost zero. For now, weapons will not jam at all when condition and cleanliness are above 50%.
Save System Changes
Brighter and higherresolution save slot icon
[/*]Saving during sleeping or waiting no longer triggers every ingame hour like normal gameplay
[/*]After migrating to the newest engine version, world item saving requires updates some fixes are included now, the rest will come in the next update
[/*]
Access Terminal Message Selection Fix
After the engine upgrade, some terminal buttons couldnt be selected. This is now fixed.
Inventory Item Collision
Adjusted collision between items and the player. This will be refined further, but it already prevents certain objects from being launched into space after colliding with the player.
Summary
I hope you enjoy completing the new quest and have a great time exploring! These are only the most important changes this weekends issue of The Ahra Prime Times will cover the games development and upcoming fixes. Even though many issues are already resolved, the engine migration introduced new ones to address, such as occasional nondisappearing widgets like Take Item.
Warm regards, Pawe
