Calling Home

Calling Home is a resource-management game about exploring planets, building and automating outposts, and finding a way back to your homebase. You gather resources, adapt to each planet’s environment, and search for rare materials, plans and ideas left by lost civilizations.

Explore and research

Explore planets in first-person, collect resources and investigate ruins left by long-gone civilizations. Their relics, histories and forgotten technologies can provide discoveries to use in your buildings and machines, and help you find a way home. You can also bring your findings back to your home planet.

Research unlocks technology and upgrades for your character’s augmentations, helping you adapt to new surroundings. You gather resources with an advanced tool arm, collect biological matter from creatures and process fluids into improved raw materials.

Build your outpost

Build outposts to repair your ship and provide shelter for you and your machinery. Modular rooms can be tailored to your needs, with specialized facilities for automating crafting and harvesting. You plan the layout from a bird’s-eye view, optimizing resource use and automating crafting and gathering, then walk through your base in first-person.

Your M.A.R.S.-Unit

The Mechanical Advisory Recollection and Search Unit, or M.A.R.S.-Unit, accompanies you from your homebase. Its database provides information about planetary ecosystems, and it serves as a logbook to help you remember important steps in your travels. M.A.R.S. can scan for resources and assist with gathering, as well as keep you company with its playful nature.
