Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I'm making this game as a fun scary horror game, but also as a platform for further big updates.

The reason for early access is to tell players this is a 'live' game. With the fun game you get early, you also get big updates.

Examples of updates: New places to discover along with existing ones. New points of interest , research stations, labs, expeditions abandoned. New exotic alien life to encounter alongside the ones already in game. some friendly, some deadly,
and finally, new planets to explore with the rover, alongside the one planet.

”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“one year”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Full version will have
- more planet types for example -- planned are: MARS-LIKE, TITAN-LIKE, MOON, ECT.
-More aliens and alien types.
- More tools for your rover.


-This CURRENT version has one detailed MARS-LIKE planet.
-Lots of aliens, 6-10 roughly.
-and a core set of 3 tools you use on the ROVER (for the mentioned scanning and sending samples gameplay)


”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“currently you can, pilot the rover on the one planet, explore 6 different abandoned station types, encounter many alien lifeforms,

send samples to the ship, where you decide if you want to keep the samples or destroy them to avoid contamination.

On the ship you can control your rover, scan samples, drink coffee.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes It will go up roughly 20% for the final price. This is based on how much content will be added”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“on the game's discord (found on the game's page), I'll be looking at player feedback often,

adjusting based on the stuff they like the most, and stuff they want improvement on.

Also as I do large updates, I may ask players opinions on what they'd like added via voting polls.”
