SHORT DESCRIPTION

Red Hope is a single-player Mars colony management and survival game. Start
with four pioneers, build a settlement of glass domes and keep air, water,
food and power flowing through dust storms. A free browser demo is
available on itch.

LONGER DESCRIPTION

Four pioneers have landed on Mars. Their first habitat has a broken supply
line, and the planet is unlikely to send someone out to fix it. Build glass
domes, connect life support and give the crew priorities as the settlement
grows.

Keep reserves ahead of the dust storms. Order supplies, decide who can join
the colony and research upgrades that buy a little breathing room. Arrivals,
decisions and losses stay in the expedition log. Reach Founding Day, then
keep building.

DEMO CONTENT AND SUPPORT

The 0.3.0 demo includes Broken Supply, tier-1 research and up to 16 permanent
settlers, including accepted passengers. There is no time limit: reach
Founding Day, then continue.

Desktop Chrome on a Mac is the demonstrated test setup. Touch controls and
portrait/landscape layouts are included in beta. Physical-phone testing is
unfinished; Safari and Android audio still need work. No native download
is offered in this kit. Saves stay in the same browser on the itch site;
they do not sync between devices.

Content note: starvation, suffocation and pioneer deaths, without graphic gore.

identity with the screenshots when publishing; captions.txt has ready-to-use
captions. The portrait image is not a physical-phone capture.
