Mars ’31 is a mobile game that takes us on a love story with the untouched valleys and plains of Mars during the early 20th century. We’re cast as a lone-wolf pioneer Mars settler on a quest for survivial, traces of the past and a deeper understanding of that ancient new world.

The game is a real-time puzzle that challenges us to give up safety for a chance to reach beyond the horizon of expectation. Play it safe and stick to what is known, or demand more while risking everything.

Developed in collaboration with Tokyo-based artists Joseph Canouil and Edern Grey.

 

 

For Android and iOS, developed with Unity game engine.

Release is planned for early 2017.
