Road 96 is also an important influence as it showed that there is still "space for narrative experiences that are more mature and philosophical". Firewatch also served as the game's inspirations, especially how gameplay was handled during conservations with other non-playable characters. Despite this, the game was described to be a thriller game for its use of emotional suspense rather than a straightforward horror game. Inspired by Alien: Isolation, the game will feature an unknown threat controlled by artificial intelligence. In addition, the team also researched on Soviet designs of spaceships, vehicles and tools to fit the game's retro-futuristic style. For the game's art style, the team was heavily influenced by atompunk aesthetics, citing works from Chris Foss, Chesley Bonestell, and Syd Mead as their inspirations. While the story is largely the same and the game features several returning characters, the game's main cast of characters including the playable protagonist are original.

Despite this, the game is not a one-to-one adaptation. The team chose to adapt this novel because they felt that the book is "stunningly picturesque", and that it "reads as a ready-made movie script". The game is an adaptation of The Invincible, a science fiction novel written by Polish author Stanisław Lem.

Members of the team had experience working for triple-A game development companies such as CD Projekt RED and Techland. The Invisible is currently being developed by Polish independent developer Starward Industries, which was founded in 2018. Other characters include Novik, the ship's navigator who guides Yasna throughout her journey on Regis III. The developer described the game as a "branching narrative with an emphasis on player choice". Yasna has access to several tools, such as a scanner and a handheld telescope that can be used to identify objects and aid her survival in the alien landscape. In the game, the player assumes control of Yasna, a crew member of the ship Invinsible, who must explore the planet Regis III for her missing crewmates while facing an unknown threat. The game is an adventure video game played from a first-person perspective. The game is set to be released for Windows PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S in 2023. It is an adaptation of the 1964 Polish novel The Invincible. The Invisible is an upcoming adventure video game developed by Starward Industries and published by 11 Bit Studios.
