Philip writes, “I’m developing a co-operative steampunk survival-adventure game called 39 Days to Mars, and it’s just launched on Kickstarter!”
39 Days to Mars is a mix of puzzle-adventure and resource management. You play as Sir Albert Wickes and The Right Honourable Clarence Baxter, two 18th century explorers who have been chosen to pilot the HMS Fearful on its maiden voyage to Mars. You must keep the two explorers alive through the trip by attending to their needs, while at the same time keeping the ship from falling apart and solving the problems that arise. It’s fairly clear that steam power is not the most reliable option for interstellar transportation.
