Awaken. Rebuild. Explore. After a long journey to a distant planet, your colonists were supposed to wake up and begin building their new home. But something went wrong. Their stasis capsules malfunctioned, and when they finally awakened, the underground facility they were meant to inhabit has fallen into ruin. Now, it's up to you to restore the base, manage resources, and expand across the planet’s surface—all while uncovering the secrets of this alien world and ensuring your colony thrives. Mercury Fallen is a self-paced sci-fi colony management experience with a focus on exploration, expansion, and story-driven progression. Deconstruct the remnants of an abandoned facility, construct new rooms, conduct research, and grow your colony both underground and across the planet’s surface.

Uncover additional colonists, robots, and discoveries hidden in collapsed sections of the Mercury Facility. Build and manage power and water resources to sustain your growing colony.
