Summary
While searching for signs of life on a remote world, an astronaut stumbles upon a forgotten Russian settlement. At first, he believes the entire mission is a deception—until a mysterious young woman rescues him from a bizarre and lethal anomaly. Lifeless Planet is a third-person action-adventure game featuring a retro sci-fi narrative and stunning environments in the tradition of classic adventure titles.
After crash-landing on the planet, the astronaut finds that the world, once believed to be teeming with life, is actually a desolate wasteland. As he searches for his missing crew, he uncovers something even more shocking: proof that humans had visited this planet long ago. When he stumbles upon a deserted Soviet-style Russian town, he begins to question the purpose of his mission. Was his faster-than-light journey somehow a time slip? Or is this all part of a bizarre Cold War cover-up?
During his journey, the astronaut encounters a Russian woman named Aelita, who somehow manages to survive the planet's deadly atmosphere. A strange natural occurrence causes the ground to glow green beneath her feet, leaving a trail of light in her wake. The player must follow these glowing paths to navigate the planet’s perilous dangers. Is she guiding him toward salvation—or toward a deadly fate?
Lifeless Planet draws inspiration from Cold War-era science fiction, raising questions about humanity’s drive to explore the stars. What if you traveled across the cosmos to a distant world, only to discover that humans had already been there before? What kind of person would volunteer for a one-way trip, leaving behind Earth and everything they know and love, in pursuit of a new world?
Armed with a limited-use jetpack and a portable robotic arm, the player must use intelligence and skill to solve puzzles, uncover the truth, and survive the Lifeless Planet!
