About the Game

Year 2032 warp gate was discovered on Earth, which was kept in secret by Nova Genetics corporation.
Warp gate travelling was figured out in a few years and it led to a planet similar to earth, called WRP-2034, which was full of expensive minerals. Since the planet had no known hazardous conditions, a massive amount of laborers were sent there to mine resources, but after a few years, outposts stopped responding.
To investigate what has happened, you, a skilled scout, was sent there.
