Description

Manage a group of intrepid colonists as they attempt to survive on an alien world. Automated machine construction was sent ahead to create the underground Mercury Facility, but something has gone wrong. Your colonists awake to find the facility in ruin. Expand the colony, grow crops, build structures, recover technologies and discover lost secrets to ensure the survival of your new home away from home. Mercury Fallen is a simulation game which focuses on building, crafting and exploration. The choices you make will decide the fate of your colony.

History

Tim Pelham began development on Mercury Fallen in early 2016, under the codename Cryopod. The initial design scope for the project 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. The game has continued to evolve since its release on Steam on October 16, 2017. Additional content has been developed such as the discovery system, story elements, robot construction, alien crops, planet exploration and more.
