[TOMT] Can anyone help me identify this game?
I'm trying to find an old PC game I played around 2008, though it might be older — I got it from a stick full of games a family friend brought over.
What I remember:
You control a spaceship, viewed from a slightly 3D/isometric angle (not straight top-down)
You never leave the ship — all combat is done by flying and shooting
The setting is space, with a very dark, almost pitch-black background, and random asteroids floating around
There were different "zones" you'd fly through/explore
Enemies were dark-colored, alien-looking creatures with tentacles, sometimes with smaller creatures near them (not exactly waves/swarms, more like a big one with little ones nearby)
I don't recall fighting any bosses
It was NOT pixel art — it looked fairly "realistic" for the time, kind of dark and unsettling/scary
There was a lot of blood/gore when you killed enemies (enough that my mom didn't want me playing it as a kid)
I played it on Windows XP
Not sure if it had a story
I've already ruled out Alien Shooter and Starscape. Any ideas would be hugely appreciated — ive been trying to find it with claude for the past half an hour with no luck...so he suggested this draft for a post on this subreddit so were am i :))
