SOA OS23: Mars Colony

The SOA OS23: Mars Colony  is an unprecedented crisis in the first human colony on Mars, in the year 2023. The failure of the systems in the colony is a result of the malfunction of the OS23 system which is a very important system supporting the life on the planet. The technology that was once highly advanced, is glitching at a slow pace and life-support systems are at stake, threatening the lives of everyone. Being the head of the operations in the colony, you have to keep the systems that fail, you have to fix the glitches and you have to avoid the complete failure.

The colony is separated into modular units which are connected to each other by the OS23 system. Oxygen, power, water, and every resource has its module, and it is necessary to provide a stable connection to the OS. It is your objective to fix the system with your hands, connect the disconnected modules, and provide the survival of the colony amidst the growing malfunctions.

The more the player digs into the enigma behind the failure of the OS23, more he or she discovers some shocking secrets about the history of the creation of the software and the company that created it. However there is not much time left, glitches are becoming more common, and the destiny of the colony is in the hands of those who are courageous enough to repair what used to be considered irreparable.
