Steam Store description

Life on Surrella is so good that the planet is starting to be overpopulated. As a solution, citizens may be convicted even for minor crimes and will be made to work on off-planet prison colonies. In this game, you play as a convict, trying to survive a series of missions. At the beginning, the missions involve construction tasks, but given that resources are tight, things soon turn violent. Emerge from the Shadows: Complete a series of missions to earn raw materials, your lifeline in this unforgiving world. Build Your Arsenal: Use your hard-earned resources to unlock vehicles Defend your base when needed - if you fail to defend your base, will the invaders just steal your stuff or take your life as well? Dynamic worlds: Procedurally generated 3D terrain with adaptive resolution Low poly models for 2 ground vehicles, 6 walking vehicles (WAVEs), and 3 spacejets -- each with its own weapon loadout Detailed Damage System: Experience a detailed damage model where individual systems fail, adding depth and realism beyond simple health counters Escape: Build a spacejet and escape this planet, securing your freedom Music by Chris Huelsbeck , used under a royalty-free license
