You play as an astronaut whose crew has landed on a planet reported to support life, only to find a hostile wasteland. While searching for the crew, he discovers an abandoned Russian settlement and evidence of an earlier human presence.
Travel across the planet on foot, jumping and climbing through hazardous terrain. A mysterious woman named Aelita leaves glowing tracks that can guide you through dangerous areas.
Use a limited-use jetpack and a robotic arm to cross obstacles, move objects, and solve environmental puzzles. Logs, recordings, and cinematic scenes gradually reveal more about the planet and the earlier expedition.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its lonely, mysterious sci-fi atmosphere, the abandoned Soviet setting, and the gradual story revealed through logs and recordings. Music and scenery also stand out in positive reviews. Others find the experience slow or repetitive, with simple puzzles and platforming that can feel awkward or imprecise.
While seeking life on a distant planet, an astronaut discovers an abandoned Russian town. He suspects his mission is a hoax until a mysterious young woman saves him from a strange and deadly phenomenon... Lifeless Planet is a third-person action-adventure that features an old-school sci-fi story and spectacular environments in the spirit of classic action-adventures.
After a hard landing on the planet, the astronaut discovers the planet that was reported to be rich with life is instead a barren wasteland. When he goes searching for his crew, he makes a more startling discovery: evidence that humans have already been to this planet years ago! When he comes upon a deserted Soviet-era Russian town, he struggles to make sense of his mission. Did his light-speed travel to the planet send him back in time? Or is this all some strange Cold War hoax?
Along the way, the astronaut meets a Russian woman, Aelita, who is somehow able to survive the hostile atmosphere of the planet. Through an unusual natural phenomenon, her skin causes the soil to glow green under her feet. The player must use these glowing tracks as a guide across the planet past treacherous and deadly threats. Is she leading him to safety... or an untimely death?
Lifeless Planet was inspired by Cold War era science fiction stories, posing questions about humankind's desire for space travel. What if you journeyed across the galaxy to another planet, only to find humans had already been there? What kind of person would sign up for a one-way mission, leaving behind planet Earth and everyone they've ever known and love... to go in search of an Earth-like planet?
Equipped with a limited-use jet-pack and a mobile robotic arm, the player must use wits and skill to solve puzzles, unravel the mystery, and survive the Lifeless Planet!
