About the Game

2184, the Martian city of Pavonis: the place to be on the partly terraformed red planet. The Martian population decided to take evolution on a whole new path and turn their once human bodies into a plethora of shapes and forms: fully custom-built bodies to take on the challenges of living on a harsh new planet.

New Mars, with its subsidized transhumanism, would practically be a utopia if it wasn't for the rampant corporate greed and power-hungry police, all looking to take advantage of its fresh-faced populace.

Enter: Dax, civil investigator with poor impulse control, and his world-weary new partner, Anaya. 

Welcome to Mars! Don't ask too many questions.

  • Non-linear dialogue and keyword-based interactions.

  • Best of both worlds: Visual novel & 3D adventure mechanics combined.

  • Explore lovingly hand-crafted 3D environments brimming with clues.

  • A deep dive into Martian biopunk and corruption through a comedic lens.

  • And, naturally: Take selfies with and finger-gun plenty of uniquely weird NPCs!
