Lacuna Passage is about finding yourself in a desolate Martian wasteland with very little oxygen, very little food, and lots of cold death all around you.

This is a survival lets play adventure by Vegetarian Zombie which covers the basic mechanics in the game.

Episode Synopsis:

The episode starts with me waking up in a capsule without any explanation. As the door opens, I'm greeted by the empty wasteland of Mars.

I'm give the task of making it to my habitat. I follow my scanner and once over the crest of a hill, I find the hab surrounded by machinery. Unfortunately, the hab is out of power and out of oxygen.

I spend the rest of the episode turing on the power, the oxygen reclaimer, the water, and the heat. Doing so required me to replace fuses, cables, and other pieces of equipment.

I just managed to get the Hab up and running before night descended on Mars. I got inside just in time to a comfy sleeping bed and lots of time to think about what I should do next.

Description:

You wake in an landing pod, check your equipment, and venture out onto the red Martian soil in search of a nearby habitat. With 25 square miles of the Red Planet to explore and survive, you must gather resources from randomized points-of-interest, supply caches, and other habitats in order to continue your mission. But survival is more than just tracking status bars. Maintaining your life-support equipment is just as important as maintaining your health. Lacuna Passage’s Survival Sandbox will allow you to test drive the core game mechanics in Steam Early Access ahead of the upcoming Story Mode.

Getting Started

Lacuna Passage was originally inspired by the successful landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars in August 2012. At first, the team relied on several volunteer contributors to build a simple proof of concept, but the game's development quickly captured the attention of gamers and space enthusiasts around the world. Lacuna Passage raised over $54,000 on Kickstarter in July of 2013 and was soon approved through Steam Greenlight.

Building On Our Promise

Random Seed Games became a full-time team consisting of Tyler Owen, the creator of the project, and Spencer Owen, his brother, and lead artist. Around this time the Steam Early Access program was becoming a more viable platform and the team decided it would be a great testing ground for the exploration and survival mechanics. A new sprawling and randomized Mars experience called the Survival Sandbox became the focus of development.

The Future

The team has several updates planned for the Survival Sandbox including ideas that will be incorporated based on player feedback. And eventually, the full release will be accompanied by the addition of Story Mode which will follow the harrowing tale of Jessica Rainer, the only survivor of the second manned mission to Mars. Players will need to follow an interplanetary trail of breadcrumbs in order to discover the fate of the previous Hermes mission, and hopefully find rescue.

Features
