Farm, explore, befriend, and uncover the truth buried under the Martian dust.

The Ares Corporation has shipped you out to Mars to support one of our struggling colonies. You've been allocated a habitat, a handful of tools, and your standard, company-issued BuddyBot.

Your job is simple: grow food, make friends, and keep the colony alive. The outskirts are off-limits. The abandoned colonies are just malfunctioning. And those strange signals are nothing to worry about.

Your Key Performance Indicators

• Grow crops in hydroponic basins! The planet's surface is cold, dark, and unforgiving. Keep your plants safe and sound inside using water-based growth units.

• Genetically modified organisms! Unlock genetic mutations and gene-splice seeds to create variants that tolerate freezing temperatures, withstand high winds and thrive in low sunlight.

• Become part of the Ares Corp. family! You'll meet lots of like-minded individuals that will provide assistance as needed to ensure the colonies' success!
  (Romantic relationships among Ares Corp. employees are strictly prohibited.)

• Build a sustainable future! We have generously equipped your designated plot with the required buildings and equipment to get you started. It's up to you to ensure you follow the Ares Corp. guidelines to customize your plot with new buildings and equipment, ensuring this colony reaches safe operating standards.

Safety Reminders

• Do not explore the outskirts! At the Ares Corporation, your safety is one of our priorities. The colony perimeter and your research plot are designated safe areas. Under no circumstance are you to venture beyond them.

• Stay clear of abandoned colonies! Previous Ares Corp. colonies that failed to meet safe operating standards have been fully decommissioned and evacuated. Any apparent radio activity is a result of malfunction and should be ignored. Do not contact, engage with, or set foot in an abandoned colony.
