About PeriAreion

Explore a new and unforgiving frontier. Lead an international team in establishing humankind's first foothold on another planet. Extract raw materials from the Martian surface to refine and use. Survive dust storms, accidents, and hypoxia. Achieve complete self-sustainability, or die trying.

PeriAreion, an astronomical term for the closest approach to Mars, aims to blend real-time strategy gameplay with a little simulation and science.

Explore Mars

Game no longer works, it simply loads to a 3D rotatable image of Mars with blinking spots you can click on to make noises (?!). No wonder it's free lol.

Some interesting ideas. Poorly implemented and unfinished, but good ideas nevertheless. I liked the voice work. I'm glad I put a bit of time into appreciating the work that is here. It's also free now. Not a good game by any means, but also not the disaster that other reviews might make it out to be.

Игра "PeriAreion" – это необычный и атмосферный опыт для любителей психологических хорроров и интерактивных новелл. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в мрачных тонах и с вниманием к деталям, сразу погружает в тревожную атмосферу загадочного острова. Сюжет, разворачивающийся неспешно, постепенно раскрывает мрачные тайны прошлого и заставляет игрока сомневаться в происходящем. Персонажи прописаны достаточно глубоко, и их мотивации не всегда очевидны, что добавляет интереса к исследованию мира. Геймплей в основном состоит из исследования локаций, чтения диалогов и принятия решений, которые влияют на развитие сюжета и концовку. Не могу сказать, что игра подойдёт всем, но тем, кто любит истории с глубоким психологическим подтекстом, сложными моральными дилеммами и не боится медленного темпа повествования, "PeriAreion" определённо стоит попробовать. Единственное, что может разочаровать, – это некоторые технические недочёты и некоторая затянутость в середине игры. В целом, это запоминающийся и атмосферный хоррор, который оставит после себя след.
