The Red Planet is a realistic first-person survival exploration game set on Mars in the near future. Set in a persistent open-world, players must scavenge parts, gather resources, and craft and repair equipment in order to survive. It features a dynamic open-world full of mysteries and dangers, coupled with a deep Cold War-inspired narrative that explores an alternate history of the Space Race.

You are trapped and cutoff - crash-landing on Mars and the sole survivor of your shuttle. Playing as Sara Harris, an Australian Botanist and Astronaut in the International Space Program, you find yourself low on supplies and desperately searching for clues as to why contact was lost with Hyperion Base. To accomplish this you will need to overcome the struggles of thirst, hunger, diminishing oxygen reserves, and the deep cold of night.

Gather and salvage what you can from Outposts, Mine Resources where you can, and Craft what tools you need to survive. All the while you must protect yourself from the environment itself, and a Cold War-era secret that could shift the balance of power on Earth forever. Do whatever it takes to survive the Red Planet.

Every action and every decision you’ll make will have far reaching consequences throughout the course of the game.

  • Explore a persistent open-world with dangers lurking over every sand-dune 
  • Gather Resources from the environment and craft new items
  • Discover Schematics needed in order to craft more advanced items
