100 years in the future, something happened on Mars. Once frequently visited, it is now abandoned with some left behind.

Memories of Mars is an open world survival game set on the abandoned mining operations in the red planet, as the dream of exploiting and colonizing Mars has proven impossible. You play as a recently awoken clone who learns its lifespan is limited by the lethal solar flares that hit the surface of the planet every few weeks.

Memories of Mars will thrust players into the barren wastelands of the Red Planet where they must explore the unforgiving landscape, build a habitable homestead and fight to survive against a variety of dangers including harsh environmental elements, strange enemy NPC’s and perhaps the most dangerous of all, other human survivors.

Explore and Survive the Red Planet.

Memories of Mars is getting ready to open its doors with two beta tests, one later this month and the other scheduled for May.

Interested fans can sign up for the closed beta in several ways.

Start with signing up over at the official website, then either leave a comment on the game's Steam page here or by following the twitter account and retweeting this.

Some things to note:

• The game is still being developed. So if you run into some bugs and/or glitches this is to be expected.
• Not everyone that receives an invite will be able to join. Servers might be overcrowded. Don't be disappointed however, we'll be having another closed beta test in May and we'll be increasing the capacity of the players for that one :)
• We would appreciate your feedback. We've been carefully listening to the community since we announced Memories of Mars back in January. We're looking to deliver the best survival sandbox experience on Mars, hence your feedback is always taken seriously, discussed between us and if possible implemented.
• We will be having European and US servers for the first closed beta.

More information will follow in the coming days

Key Features:

• EXPLORE AND DISCOVER – Explore over 16 KM2 of the Martian landscape complete with deserts, craters, canyons, rocky planes, and mesas. Visit over 85 points of interest including abandoned towns, mines, industrial facilities, biodomes and vehicles.
• SURVIVE – Look after basic needs including health, stamina, nutrition, body temperature and oxygen.
• FIGHT –Encounter and fight against unique NPCs and competing players that are always looking to interrupt your adventures. These NPCs are strange enemies left over from previous, failed, colonization efforts. Now they’ve gone rogue, and you’ll need to fend them off.
• BUILD – Building your own base will be a cornerstone of your gameplay experience. Build a small base on your own, or collaborate and build a much larger base. Either way, a base is required to for the ultimate project – surviving Mars!
• EVENTS & FLOPS – Memories of Mars contains a unique system of in-game events where players will converge and try to survive these events and thereby collect Flops. There are multiple ways to collect Flops, but beware because other players can rob, kill and loot your Flops.

As a special token of thanks, players who sign up and opt-in via the official game website will receive an exclusive in-game pattern, and the blueprint for a CZ 457 rifle. The pattern will signify players as part of a core group of fans and it can be applied to equipment, armor, and weapons.  The CZ 457 blueprint will help players kickstart their journey and give them a step up from the standard issue pistol. Once obtained, players can produce as many rifles as their storage bins will hold. These are available for a limited time, now through the Early Access Launch. Visit the website and sign up today!
