Indie developer/publisher BadFly Interactive announces TauCeti Unknown Origin, a co-op sci-fi first-person shooter coming to PC, consoles, and mobiles. They do not specify target OSes for the PC, but add that virtual reality support is part of the plan. Word is: "TauCeti Unknown Origin offers an original and epic gameplay experience set in an exciting and exotic space world." You can get a first look at this in action in this teaser trailer, tough they hedge by saying this "does not represent the final look of the game." Here's more:

TauCeti Unknown Origin features a protagonist hero (you) living your worst nightmare. Your space ship, the famed ESS Meridian (known from Dead effect 2) has gone haywire and crashed; luckily you managed to use the only working escape pod, which has sent you straight to TauCeti f, a strange and unknown land ready to be explored …

TauCeti Unknown Origin is a beautiful, but dangerous place. It features a thick tropical rainforest, deep canyons, a great rover and ruins of stone buildings. Temples of ancient civilizations might offer shelter, but also hides danger. The natives are something to experience! Throughout the environment, you may discover shattered parts from your broken vessel.
