About This Game

Howdy Folks!

My name is Tim and I'm the solo developer of Mercury Fallen.

After being sent to a distant planet, a group of colonists awake to find that their stasis capsules have malfunctioned causing them to oversleep. The once-new underground facility has fallen to ruin.

Mercury Fallen is a relaxed sci-fi colony management experience with a focus on exploration, expansion and story progression. Play the game at your own pace as you deconstruct the old facility, construct new rooms, make discoveries, conduct research and expand both the underground and surface of an alien planet.
