Day 4 Released!

Welcome to Your New Home!

Play as a customizable  engineer who has decided that they have what it takes to survive on a newly terraformed planet. You've taken classes, have a survival guidebook, and a helpful tool to make basic necessities. 

All you have to do is survive, it's really that simple!

What You're Here For:

Terraforming is more efficient when you start with a planet that can already sustain life. That's why Fazcorp takes every effort to preserve clones of the native life from terraformed worlds prior to the whole melting it down thing. 

It sounds bad, but don't worry, the best scientists in the F.A.Z. assure us that no sentient life has ever been found. 

It's just us! 

Alone. 

As it should be.

Imagine your surprise then when surprisingly sentient, intelligent (and cute) life finds you. 

After the planet has been melted down and recast in Earth's image.  

Play your cards right and you might just survive this.

And possibly get a kiss out of the whole ordeal.

Four paths to two paths to the first arc ending -> 8 bad endings along the way, 6 ways snuggle, and 3 good endings.

The end of Day 4 has one choice...

63K words! 

Warnings: 

This story includes occasional strong language (can be deselected), physical violence, player deaths, and references to an extinction event.
