About This Game

EXTRACT. BUILD. SURVIVE. REDACTED. REPEAT.

Welcome to Atlas, moon of Saturn, where you've been assigned as the new Station Manager of a critical resource extraction facility. What begins as a routine assignment REDACTED remains a routine assignment!

MASTER THE DEBRIS FIELD

Stand your ground against the endless onslaught of the debris field cascading around Atlas. Use your Controlled Assembly Device to blast incoming fragments, collecting precious resources as they shatter. Every deployment is a tactical challenge - position yourself wisely as the ever-changing field tests your reflexes and resource management skills.

BUILD AND AUTOMATE

Transform Atlas Station from a struggling outpost into a resource extraction powerhouse. Deploy drones to automate collection, build defensive structures, and expand your operational capabilities. Every structure built brings new possibilities - and perhaps reveals more questions about the station's true purpose.

MANAGE LIMITED RESOURCES

Critical resources drive your survival and progress: Ice, Minerals, Metals and others.  

Every resource allocation is a critical decision. Will you prioritize immediate survival, collection speed and efficiency, or long-term advancement?

RESEARCH AND ADAPT

Death is not the end - it's just another deployment. Each cycle grants new opportunities to upgrade your equipment, enhance your base, and push further into the mysteries of Atlas. Unlock new technologies through research, discover hidden areas of the station, and gradually piece together the disturbing truth of what happened to your predecessors.

KEY FEATURES

  • Dynamic Debris Field: Face an ever-changing challenge of resource-rich fragments requiring quick reflexes and strategic planning

  • Expansive Base Building: Construct and upgrade numerous structures from Point Defense Cannons, to Drone Hubs, to experimental gravity manipulators

  • Progressive Technology System: Unlock new capabilities through research, permanently improving your base and abilities for future deployments

  • Atmospheric Mystery: Piece together the disturbing history of Atlas Station through discovered logs, environmental storytelling, and cryptic messages

  • Challenging Resource Management: Balance immediate survival needs against long-term goals in a hostile environment

  • Multiple Progression Paths: Prioritize drones, first-person mode, towers, or other strategies based on your playstyle

The Company thanks you for your service. Your deployment begins now. Remember - efficiency is expected, survival is optional.
