Blind Descent

A survival and exploration mission deep beneath the Martian surface. A team of up to four pioneers has been sent to uncover the fate of a missing crew within a vast, uncharted underground world. What was supposed to be a routine expedition has become a fight for human survival. As exploration begins, the subterranean world reveals itself as a living, reactive ecosystem. It is no longer just a mission, it's a transformation, a challenge to integrate and thrive in a world where survival hinges on your ability to learn, adapt, and symbiotize.

  • Explore an Alien World that Pushes Back: Discover a sprawling underground biome teeming with mysterious life and reactive flora.
  • Survival Through Understanding: Study the ecosystem, observe alien behavior, and craft tools that help you survive.
  • Shelters with Consequences: Build log-by-log in a world where nature reclaims what's left unattended. Your bases can be overgrown, devoured, or corrupted.
  • Mutate and Adapt: Encounter biological phenomena that change you. Gain abilities through exposure to alien spores, fruits, and strange infections.
  • Traverse Rugged Environments: Use advanced climbing gear to scale vertical shafts and navigate treacherous terrain with precision and agility.
  • Endure Together: Team up with up to three other pioneers in online co-op. Venture through the unknown together to uncover the truths lying deep within Mars.
