Asymptote

Asymptote is a 2D top-down rescue-survival game set on Mars in 2138, nearly a century after the first generations settled there. When uncontrollable AI-driven robots disrupt the colony, survivors are stranded across the planet’s surface, and unexpected orders from far away worsen the crisis. You pilot a rescue craft on timed missions to save colonists, face hostile threats and interact with objects and situations on Mars.

Rescue on Mars

Each mission is a race against time: rescue stranded colonists before the mission window closes while destroying hostile robots, drones and other threats. You use unique tools and interactions to deal with objects, enemies and rescue situations. Rescuing different people can unlock new loot, resources, events and possible story paths.

Resources and progression

You loot weapons, items, gold coins, microchips and other resources to survive longer and improve your chances. Upgrades strengthen your craft for future attempts, while leveling up earns skill points to unlock persistent skills through the talent tree. Those skills remain unlocked even when a mission fails.

Choices and story

What begins as a rescue mission develops into a story about loyalty, belonging and the choices facing people caught between two worlds. Run by run, you get closer to the truth behind the crisis and a final decision that may shape the fate of Mars’s people. Your choices may affect the ending and the future there, as you weigh duty against freedom, and origin against belonging. The game also unlocks further mechanisms as it progresses and becomes harder to survive.
