Per Aspera is a planetary simulation that puts you in the role of AMI, an artificial consciousness tasked with terraforming Mars for human colonization. Build interconnected structures across the planet while balancing resources, and shape your terraforming plan through branching research informed by real-world science.
A narrative of difficult choices and self-discovery unfolds alongside the simulation, as AMI encounters traces of failed colonization efforts and a threatening presence on Mars. For a less story-focused approach, the game also offers a Sandbox Mode for crafting a Martian landscape.
