action

Four astronauts are locked in an underground, isolated facility that is constructed like a future spaceship. You will take part in a 400-day simulation that aims to investigate the long-term effects of long space trips to distant planets on the social behavior and psyche of the participants. After just a few days, friction and potential for conflict develop.

After a few weeks, the astronauts feel an earthquake and communication with the control center and the outside world is lost. Initially, they think this is part of the simulation, including the power drop in the power supply.

A few days before the end of the simulation, a being invades the facility that looks like a degenerate human being. When he is discovered, he escapes through the ventilation system. The astronauts discover that there is no longer enough oxygen circulating due to a leak in the ventilation system. You decide to go to the surface before the simulation ends to fix the problems. Everything is dark outside and the solar panels are no longer working. The whole area is covered with dust and rocks. You explore the area and come to an empty house. In a photo they discover the intruder, the owner of the house. Several locations are crossed out on a map, but one is marked. That is where the astronauts set out.

Few people still live in the place. The host of the diner informs you about the events of the last few months. A huge asteroid rammed Earth's moon and tore it to pieces. Since then, dust and lunar rocks have covered the earth. Life has become very difficult. The astronauts do not want to stay long in the place because they distrust the residents.

When two of the astronauts disappear, the other two return to the simulation facility. In doing so, however, they are followed by the residents who suspect that there will be supplies and better infrastructure. Two residents enter the facility, but are overwhelmed with difficulty by the astronauts. At this point, day 400 ends and the system starts up from standby; all doors and hatches will open automatically. In the final scene, the astronauts watch the main access hatch, where they face an uncertain end. Everything they experienced could have been part of the planned simulation.
