Plot
In the future, a man leaves his family for the Kennedy Space Center, where the Callisto Agency, a partner of NASA, has launched a mission to Jupiter. After he launched into space in a rocket ship that can get to Jupiter in 10 minutes, named Europa, he sends an IO probe to capture photos of the planet's atmosphere but as he tries to discover where it is, the mission abruptly halted when the force of Jupiter's gravity pulls him in and destroyed his ship, leaving him with no contact from the Agency. As he wakes up, he finds himself stranded in the planet's atmosphere before seeing monsters called Jupiterrans that live in the planet's surface. Now, he must fight these monsters, with the help of one, to get himself out of the planet.

Trivia
