Lacuna Passage - A Mars Exploration Game

Lacuna Passage: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tylerowen/lacuna-passage

Hey,

I've backed this project on Kickstarter and thought i'd share it with you guys.
It is a little over half way to its deadline and has raised over half of its $40k goal so far.

In a nutshell its a first person exploration game set on Mars but, and here is the really cool part, it uses actual 1:1 scale topographically accurate landscapes based upon NASA's digital mapping, so you know that the rock formation or crater your investigating actually exists!

If that wasnt enough those of you who own or intend to own an Oculus Rift will be please to hear that its intending to support it
Actual 1:1 stereoscopic depth of real locations on Mars!

Whilst Oculus Rift support is a stretch goal they have stated that they will be implementing it to a limited degree regardless as can be seen here:

Personally i've not been this excited about an upcoming game since Elite Dangerous launched!

Looks great, sounds a lot like the book by Andy Weir, The Martian. I'd say read the book then play that game (if it gets finished), it would blow your mind. You would be there, totally.

$25,461 pledged of $40,000 goal , 13 days left. :( Don't look good. It's also on Steam Greenlight. :)

EDIT: Just saw your post on the Steam boards there Brodie, good one. I'll see if I can put some money aside for the KS as well. :)

This ones been kind of playing on my mind the last few days so I bit the bullet to back it....Great storyline that has kind of drawn me in..

At $15 it will be worth every penny for the digital download
 
This thread has been quiet for a long time! The demo version of the game is out for backers - and I recently did a quick playthrough:

Surprisingly short, and lacking any content at all really - but hopefully all that is coming soon... :)
