If you're into that genre at all, you should totally. :)

I am not, particularly.

Then yeah, give it a pass -- it's the stuff of nightmares.

It is incredibly tricky to talk about this subject without naming what it is.

I have dabbled in the genre, but for the most part it's ended up more "frustrating" than "scary."

I find this particular one to be both scary and psychologically traumatic, so to speak.  Not in like a melodramatic way, but it's more than just things making you jump or creeping you out in the moment, if that makes sense.  Though there is that, too.  There's stuff that kind of haunts you for a while.

I remember playing that game for about 12 hours straight one night with a friend shortly after it came out.  We finished it that playthrough, mainly because we were both too scared to go to sleep.  :-[

It was an incredible experience, but I think it more or less satisfied any desire I had to play another game of the horror genre for life.  I've tried to play a few since, even in the same series, but I'm just too chicken.  :'(

I played that one as my first real game in that genre, and then I played its predecessor.  I was much less impressed.  I then played the sequel that came directly out of it, and completely chickened out part of the way through.  Still just too much for me, I can't bear to go back to the subway in that one.  But I've played through the main game we're discussing some four or five times, I just am entranced by it.

what about this ?

Rise of The  Galaxia Colony ?

 only fault  i see is that it is a bit too long.

Otherwise it  seems good to me.

"This World is Mine" sounds like a subtitle, IMO, like it should be preceded by a colon.

That is a mouthful. It might work though?

I think it's too long - possibly because I know it's two titles stuck together, so maybe it would sound fine to everyone outside the thread.

All the single titles sound really good though, any one of them would work. (Well, I'm not so struck on This World is Mine, but It'd still get me intrigued)

I think that if your title (especially for a not-a-sequel) is seven words stuck together with a colon, you did something wrong somewhere. I also agree with wwwhhattt, it seems like two titles bolted together.

This World Is Mine might be just a good tagline, I dunno.  "Live.  Die.  Repeat."  The Edge of Tomorrow was a fine name (and an awesome movie).  So maybe just Stars Beyond Reach, with the tagline This World Is Mine.
