About the Game

After a nuclear war Earth’s biosphere collapsed and each nation sent away their last survivals with a fleet of colony ships to the only system in range with Earth -like planets. A hidden system filled with dark matter captured the fleet during flight by gravity. Now there are no other options left as to colonise this system without working scanners because of the nebula all around.

You control one of these fleets. You have to setup coalitions or try to claim entire planets yourself. Every decision you make will influence the survival of all. Take good care while mining deep, under the surface something horrifying is lurking…

In this game you have to decide how much scout and colony ships you going to spend to discover new planets, when you will start colonising them as well as how to connect them and how deep you will mine. If you mine deeper into the planet’s crust you may find giant amounts of resources. You may find horrible things as well. You will have to make a lot of thrilling decisions about risking everything to win the game or at least to barely survive. It may appear simple and minimalistic but the game experience is deep and intense.
