Explore the 3D Low Poly alien planet and assign work tasks to your people. Gain resources to craft tools and gear while unraveling the secrets of a long civilization and the reason it is gone. Be quick though because at night it is too dangerous to walk about. It is then that the player must prepare and distribute rations, establish guard duties and plan future expeditions.
