About
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!

Follow a mysterious young woman as she guides you past dangerous terrain and deadly life-forms.

Fun exploration, music, and visuals, but the voice acting kills immersion for me. Should've been a silent game IMO. Wait for a sale or get it in a bundle.
I really enjoyed this game as it was a perfect balance of story, exploration, and not-too-challenging (but challenging at times!) game play. The graphics were really cool as well and the controls were easy. I admit I don't often play games to the end because of time constraints (I'm not going to spend hundreds or thousands of hours on one game), and difficulty, but I played this one to the very end. This level of difficulty was perfect; even if I couldn't figure out a tough spot, I came back to it the next day and was able to figure it out. The story was awesome - it kept my attention... I can't wait to play Lifeless Moon now.
This is my third run through. Still as awkward to jump from one rock or broken building etc. Sometimes lose my way. But still come back for more punishment. Love it.
