A downloadable game

 Due to significant financial hardships, you have sold yourself into a position of permanent residence on an exo-planetary research base. You will be supplied with oxygen, fuel, and other necessities through automated deliveries from an unmanned station in orbit. Your several-month journey has ended and you have just set foot from your flimsy shuttle onto the dusty abandoned ground of an alien world. Your life is worth less than a return flight.
This is your home now. This was your choice.

! WELCOME !

Welcome to your new exo-planetary home! The base will be the centre of your operations here and will also be where you eat, work, and sleep for the foreseeable future, so it is imperative that the base is well maintained in order to minimise risk.

Underneath the base is a vast cave network with anomalous properties, appearing to change shape at the same time each morning. Your job is to collect samples from within the cave system, collect data from said samples, and send your findings back to the company. You will be rewarded with company credits, which can in turn be used to purchase performance-enhancing equipment such as higher-capacity oxygen tanks, life-saving emergency supplies, and fun decorations to improve employee morale.

The biggest threat to your safety inside the cave is oxygen. Keep a close eye on your oxygen level and remember that you must save enough oxygen for the return journey. Your equipped oxygen tanks will refill while you are in the base, so long as it is pressurised.

Despite spreading rumours, the exo-planet is completely uninhabited. There are NO extraterrestrial life-forms on the exo-planet. Remember, hallucinations are common in environments of complete isolation. If you encounter what you perceive as a complex organism, practise a breathing exercise, retreat to a relaxing location, and capture a photograph to report to the company immediately.
