OFFROAD: DEAD PLANET is an offroading adventure game. Play as a young driver journeying from Mars to Earth, ready to drive and unwilling to abandon the old planet to ruin.

Complex suspensions, permanent environmental changes, vehicle damage and crunching, terrain modification with ruts and tracks, soft body deforming tires over rocks, a driver that's fully physically simulated, trash to pick up and robots that try to murder you all while carving your own paths across a nearly dead, dystopian earth. Offroad your way across rocky plateaus, over islands, deep in forests, through caves, above toxic fog, on mars and who knows where else, to build new paths and begin cultivating a vibrant future.

- KEY FEATURES -

Rock Crawling

Tactically navigate rough terrain filled with rocks, trees, logs and abandoned structures. Try to find the best line to climb, often with many choices of both route and vehicle. Balance careful planning with split second decisions while learning the unique physics of each vehicle. Tires squishing against hard surfaces, suspensions scraping against rocks and the friction of your wheels against each surface contribute to the vehicle's ability to climb.

Dynamic Ground

Terrain reacts to your vehicle and the changes remain. Mud gets ruts in it, sand gets pushed aside or compressed, grass gets torn up eventually creating soft muddy ground. Various types of terrain each have different influences on your driving so as you modify the terrain you'll need to adapt. Careful navigating up a hill of grass or you'll end up sliding on the mud underneath while struggling to get over ruts you've dug with your tires. Or use the dynamic terrain to your advantage by driving the same routes over deep sandy terrain, clearing away that top layer to create solid, packed down, stable paths.

Explore, Transport, Build

Explore the terrain of a future Earth (and Mars!) finding hidden caves or treacherous cliff paths. Complete missions like collecting trash, powering signal towers, jump starting solar panel arrays and activating generators. In the process, find the best methods to transport materials like logs, paneling, metal plates and supports to build and repair everything from bridges and camps to cabins, gardens and pollinator stations. Either manage your time well to make it back to camp before nightfall, equip your vehicle for the darkness of night or be sure to build your camp close enough to your route for an easy stop to wait out the dark.

Helping People & Saving The Environment

Starting on Mars and journeying your way to an earth full of people mostly left behind by the space faring society, you'll be helping characters with all sorts of varying needs, goals and beliefs - the only common denominator is a need for some driving assistance! With a planet on the brink of collapse, you'll journey to Earth from Mars and begin harmonizing nature with a humanity ready for new growth. As you do, learn what forces are behind the destruction of Earth's ecosystems and save the planet .. starting with one pile of litter and planted seed at a time.

Vehicle Physics

The vehicles all have unique suspension setups, allowing variation in axle tilt, spring, dampening, angle and resilience. The entire suspension is physically simulated, meaning when you hit a rock hard at a bad angle or grind your axles against something, you'll feel the mechanism react - or bend. You'll need to manage the harshness of your driving as the engine, transmission, chassis, steering and tires of the vehicles are all damageable. Not only do they have mechanical effects but they'll bend, break, hang off, deflate and spark. Explore different vehicles over time and learn their unique strengths and weaknesses as you conquer the large variation of challenges!

Physically Deforming Tires

The tires squish, bend, pop and grip to various surfaces differently. They are simulated as complete soft body objects, allowing for them to grip around objects, the sides to press against surfaces, to bend with momentum in high speed turns, and their shape to be fully responsive in all situations as you drive up cliffs, over rocks, or through water and mud. They can be damaged if pushed too hard, deflate or even be destroyed entirely. Different tires' tread depths determine the ratio of friction between smooth and rough surfaces, allowing some tires to be better suited for concrete or asphalt while others produce the most friction while ripping through mud, rock, grass and dirt.

Reactive Driver

The driver is always simulated fully with physics, flexing their muscles to stay in position and hold on to that steering wheel. They have an air level that is hindered by a trash filled area, and a requirement of nutrition that, while easy to maintain, can become dire in a bad situation. They can even be knocked unconscious with a hard enough impact to their head, which in the wrong situation while driving can send you careening out of control. But once you wake up again, you can regain control of the vehicle as long as you can get one hand back on the steering wheel.

Time Trials

Test your abilities in the extremes, driving as fast as possible and executing the perfect lap. Push the vehicles, and yourself, to the limits of ability to get the fastest time in time trials. Cut routes through the terrain to build an optimal line, leaving tracks and ruts, modifying the ground as you drive over it with each lap - and try to perfect your driving to get the fastest run possible.
