About This Game

People's thirst to conquer worlds will never wane. Our story is not a tale of galactic conquest, with romantics believing in a brighter future and ready to give up everything for an adventure. Our story is about the last hope, about one of the many colonizers who left their home planet after a global ecological disaster.

Space turned out to be treacherous and dangerous, a minimal miscalculation in coordinates became fatal for our pioneers. Supplies were depleted, energy was running out, and inhabited worlds were never reached. A desperate attempt to save the crew forced the artificial intelligence to take extreme measures…

Instead of pleasant fresh air filling the lungs, the titanium-type atmosphere consists mostly of nitrogen. Instead of luxurious flora covering the entire globe, a lifeless desert. Fortunately there were rare deposits of carbon dioxide, salts, but most importantly water! The planet is not suitable for life... Yet... But terraformable. Can artificial intelligence solve this problem? Let's not go that far, it will require huge reserves of energy, and it is not so easy to accumulate, one problem at a time.

It's an exciting and challenging adventure as the AI. You will have to stabilize the situation, accumulate resources and start terraforming the planet to wake humans from hibernation. You will encounter puzzles, events, and unforeseen circumstances.

Long and detailed production chains resembling actual processes will keep you in tension and push you to constantly improve the architecture.

The multitude of resources and processing methods will give you a wide range of options in progression across the board. Allowing you to shape your own optimal game approach.

Stock up on energy and build the last stronghold of humanity! Conquer the planet and give the wanderers hope for life, save them!

Just don't ruin this planet, too!

Horrible, no way to know what to do. Game seems to fight you.

To call this a technical demo would be an insult to technical demos. This is more like an afternoon with Unity and free assets. There is no depth to the game, seemingly one "level" which is about a hour of meaningless frustration of trying to connect pre-built buildings together, with, no kidding here (I play a lot of automation games), THE WORST autopathing/connection system I've ever seen. Another commenter said the game fights you, I'd put it one further and say this thing actively despises you. It's rare that I've endured such a waste of time and money, but here we are.

You know how Devolver Digital made a skit about "point-of-conception" Early Access during E3 2019? That was supposed to be a joke.

As it stands right now, this is... not good. The opening scene is just silly; it is utterly unnecessary (just a quick 'this is the situation' would do fine, instead we get a whole visual novel) and it is very poorly written (clearly either rushed with zero time for spell or grammar checking, or written by a non-native speaker). Admittedly, the fact that you can get a game over before the game even starts got a laugh out of me. The 'game', such as it is, barely exists. You connect a few wires and things to pre-existing buildings and... wait. That's it. It takes an [b]excruciatingly[/b] long time for the buildings to start working and I have no idea why. The numbers are not explained, so I have no idea what is going on. Not that I really care. It not like there is a game here. They seem to have put all their effort into the opening scene. So yeah, unless this gets a [i]major[/i] overhaul, dodge.
