About This Game

In 2086, a young pilot is driven by the desperate need to help their struggling community on Mars from the brink of destitution. As that pilot, you sign up to work for an astro-mining corporation and embark on high-stakes mining missions, earning commission to fund the survival of your family and friends in a merciless profit-driven world. As your career continues, you'll delve deeper into the corporate underbelly and uncover the harsh realities and ruthless capitalist secrets of the company you work for and their competitors.

  • Fly free to explore over 20 missions

  • Find, mine, break down, and haul precious resources from asteroids into your cargo

  • Converse with your bosses, colleagues, and rival factions to discover more about the world

  • Spend your commission wisely: will you use your pay to help your community, yourself, or something more?

  • Actions have consequences: what you do, or fail to do, in a mission will dictate future missions and the direction of the story

  • Progress however you like and watch the game unfold whatever the results of you missions: get rich, defect to a rival, or just get fired: the game will go on.

You'll fly out to missions given by your coropoate overlords in your surveyor ship. Missions take place in local asteroid fields where you will pilot mining drones to navigate through the rocks, scan materials, and gather resources, using tools such as kinetic impactors to break down larger asteroids, and grappling magnets to haul them into cargo containers. While many missions are about pure profit, some missions will see you spying on rival corporations, clearing debris, rescuing stranded pilots, or testing out new controversial technologies.

As you explore each field, you'll earn bonus pay and commission for the resources you've collected, and slowly begin to uncover what's really going on out in the outer reaches of the asteroid belt. If you damage equipment or fail your missions, you might be fined and have less money to send back to your community on Mars, or be sent on lower-risk missions in the future.

Your actions and the decisions you make along the way will change the course of the story, the missions you take, and the relationships with the people around you. Eveyone has their own agenda, and everyone wants to find a way to use you for their own ends.
