Heroes of Science and Fiction is a turn-based strategy game in which five space-faring factions compete for control of a distant star system.

Heroes of Science and Fiction, formerly known as Silence of the Siren, is a turn-based strategy game set in the Siren star system, a region cut off from the rest of the galaxy following the collapse of a galactic alliance. Players explore planets scattered with ruins, gather resources and uncover remnants of a lost Primals civilization while contending with rival factions and unknown threats.

The game includes five playable factions, each with its own base, seven upgradeable unit types, a unique special skill and a selection of commanders. Players manage resources to construct and upgrade bases, recruit armies and engage in turn-based combat on varied maps. Commanders can be levelled up and equipped with abilities drawn from a pool of 24 skills and 54 active commander abilities, alongside equipment, consumables and artifacts found while exploring.

Content includes four campaigns with four levels each and more than 30 skirmish maps across a range of environments. Combat is turn-based and involves positioning units, using their individual abilities and deploying commander skills to gain tactical advantages over opponents.
