You're trying to seed human life on a new world. As you descend, your ship collides with what looks like some sort of magic hover city, destroying both it and your ship. Small life pods eject, sending those who weren't killed in the first explosion down to the surface to try their damndest to survive.
That's where you begin.

Help your fellow crewmates heal their injuries and collect together, defend against the occasional monster stampede and assemble a fortress to protect those who remain as you struggle to secure life, and begin the existence you intended from the start. Will you make friends with the indingenous sentient species? Can you even survive their outrunners long enough to try? Learn designs to assemble all the things needed to live well and comfortably, from huge laser cannons that rest on top of your most vulerable buildings to eggshell chairs like people loved in the 1970s, you eventually learn it all from your friends and potential new allies.
But there is more danger than you might think at first.
Beware, explorer, the depths of the forests for they hold creatures I can only refer to as like the Chimeras of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fame. Oceans, fish that could eat blue whales in 5 bites. The skies conceal huge birds, but a quick wit and a well-maintianed rifle can nearly keep you even from being harmed by them.

What will you build? An impenetrable steel fortress with 30 foot walls that stand in mocking defiance of the local beasts? An underground compound filled with laberynthine passages and high-tech facilities? A huge golden tower gleaming in the sun, staring down from a huge mesa or mountainrange?

That's for you to decide.

The only thing the makers of the game care about, is you enjoy their carefully crafted world of make-believe.
