About the Game

In Domefender you are sent to a hostile alien planet with the goal of collecting solarite - an extremely rare material, formed only under very specific conditions. However the exact same conditions required for creation of solarite led to some obscure evolution of local wildlife.

The planet is uninhabitable for humans, luckily with modern technological advancements in cloning, we managed to create (totally) non-sentient life forms, capable of surviving local conditions - H.O.O.M.A.N.S. (Humanlike Organic Operationally Minimally Assisted Non-Sentients) - as long as they stay under the dome.

Taking into account local environment and hostile wildlife attracted to electricity, establishing a permanent base is out of the question. Surviving there for a month would be nothing short of a miracle.

Mining solarite will also require highly specialized infrastructure that we sadly can't transport over there with you.

Your job will be to establish a mining outpost, and develop it using local resources to a point where it is capable of extracting it, and then escaping with it before the waves of enemies get too overwhelming.

We are counting on you!

P.S. Our funding is finite, and with all the lawsuits (falsely) alleging that hoomans are sentient (they aren't), you should really hurry to bring some solarite back home.
