# 30 Minutes to Rescue
A Mars colony is on the brink of collapse.
A massive dust storm disables critical systems across the station.
Oxygen levels are dropping. The reactor is unstable. People are panicking.
You have **30 minutes** to stop the disaster.
Every decision may save the colony…
or trigger a chain reaction that destroys it.

## Manage critical resources
Balance the survival of the station through key resources:
• Oxygen
• Water
• Energy
• Food
• Colonists
One wrong decision can doom the entire colony.
---
## Make rapid decisions
Events escalate quickly:
• oxygen leaks
• reactor overheating
• corridor fires
• airlock failures
• riots and panic
Sometimes you have time to think.
Sometimes you have only seconds.
---
## Chain reaction system
Every decision has consequences.
Seal a sector — lose people.
Cut power — lose the greenhouse.
Stabilize the reactor — but sacrifice the medbay.
A single mistake can cascade across the station.

## Atmospheric sci-fi setting
Explore the tense environment of a Mars colony:
• command center
• research labs
• living quarters
• reactor core
• greenhouses

Every location is part of the fight for survival.

## Multiple endings
Will you save the colony?
Or will the storm bury it beneath Martian dust?
The outcome depends entirely on your choices.
