History
Tim Pelham began development on Mercury Fallen in early 2016, under the codename Cryopod. The initial design scope for the project was small, but after several prototypes, the focus of the game shifted towards colony management and exploration. What started as a side project took on a life of its own by late 2016. In early 2017, the project was renamed Mercury Fallen. It was released on Itch.IO as a free prototype demo on April 7, 2017. Paid early access was released the following month, and Mercury Fallen quickly saw more than 10,000 downloads on the Itch.IO platform. The game was released on Steam in Early Access on October 16, 2017. Development continued over the course of 6 years with many new features added. The game officially released out of Early Access on August 22, 2023.
