When we first discovered the signal emanating from Mars, we thought it was a mistake. After so much time spent combing the farthest reaches of space for proof of intelligent life, we never thought we’d end up finding it so close to home. There was talk at first of ignoring it. Even with a crew ready and willing to take part in the mission, many of us were frightened by the idea of validating the signal’s existence.
Tharsis Pre-Installed Game
Were people truly ready to accept the reality of other life in the universe? Was I? But as is often the case with humanity, our curiosity got the better of us. We told the world we were embarking on the first-ever mission to Mars in the name of scientific discovery—technically true, but not the whole story—and sent a crew of five brave men and women. Will they make it alive? The outcome could save or doom humanity. A mysterious signal originating from the Tharsis region of Mars set us on a frantic mission. Who sent it? And why? Impossible questions, but in them lie the key to humanity’s survival. Now, millions of miles away from home, a micrometeoroid storm has left us with a severely damaged ship, two deceased crew, and the sneaking suspicion this trip was doomed from the start. Tharsis is a turn-based space strategy game. With dice. And cannibalism. It puts you in control of humanity’s first mission to Mars, just as it’s struck by a micrometeoroid storm.
