Farlanders

The mystique of exploring a planet unknown to the human race has always been present in the dreams of the most adventurous. With the consecutive advances in technology, this dream is more present than ever. Farlanders explores the idea of building a colony on the surface of the red planet, addressing themes such as imperialism, capitalism, as well as job dissatisfaction. It should be noted that there are different game modes in Farlanders, the Campaign, Freeplay, which as the name implies the player is completely free to do whatever he wants, and the Sandbox mode which is not yet available. The Campaign mode, on the other hand, follows a line divided into 7 missions, which increase in difficulty and which is by far the most interesting point of this title, following the story of Marco, the new architect in charge of building and expanding the colony. The whole story unfolds between small notes of image and text in the style of a visual novel. There are interactions between team members and consequently intrigue and distrust. The point is that Marco’s dream job along the way will become more and more complicated, stressful and with less perks than he would have expected. All these moments are recorded by Marco on his own Vlogs channel making things a little more interesting.
