deliver us mars it begins with a brief scene and then puts you in the proverbial place of a young Kathy Johanson, a woman who will eventually become the youngest astronaut in the WSA.
The Prologue introduces you to the basic mechanics of the game and sets up the story; don’t expect me to teach you everything you need to know yet. (Thankfully, it’s a fairly short experience overall.) You will have a short introduction to the controls and then you will go diving with your big sister. As soon as you jump into the water, you will transition to a new location – a station on the moon.
An important note: at any time, you can press “T” to see what your Goals are. You can also go into the game options and make the target always on screen if you want.
waking up on the moon
Your dad wakes you up from a capsule. You are confused, but he clearly seems to be in a panic. Your first objective is to find your teddy bear “Moonbear”; you can find it under the table to your left. You will have to crawl under the table to get to it.
Once you have rescued your teddy bear, your dad will tell you that he needs your help. You will have to press a button on the opposite side of the room. Press the button and then follow your dad down a hallway. You’ll avoid some people who are looking for you and then have to climb up a ventilation shaft to retrieve another ASE robot nicknamed “ASE”.
After retrieving the ASE, your dad will pick you up and start running through the halls. You will stop at a control room. Your dad will start working on the computer. Your sister will start asking you to open the door behind him. She can choose whether or not to push the button; It doesn’t really matter either way.
Eventually, your dad starts running towards the rocket. Your character, Kathy, trips and falls, and the two of you end up separated. The prologue ends and we jump to chapter 1.
Court, collectibles and control AYLA
Chapter 1 of deliver us mars it begins with Kathy as an adult in a WSA uniform, standing on top of a huge satellite dish. In this chapter she will be introduced to several new mechanics.
The first is laser cutting. This can be used to cut through debris or open new paths. You will use it several times throughout the first Chapter while solving puzzles and exploring. Solving puzzles is a big part of progressing through deliver us mars.
The second concept is Collectibles. There are objects you can interact with throughout the game that will teach you more about their world; all of these are listed in your Astrotool. You can learn more about them in our Collectibles Guide, and you can find specific locations in our guides for each Chapter.
The third and final mechanic introduced in Chapter 1 is controlled AYLA, her robot companion ASE. AYLA can fly, which means that she can travel to places that she cannot go as a human. AYLA also has the ability to interact with certain computers.
Chapter 1 has some puzzles to explore and some collectibles to find. You can read more about them in our Chapter 1 Puzzles & Collectibles Guide.
moving in space
Once you reach Chapter 2, you will advance to outer space. This introduces three new mechanics.
The first moves in zero gravity. He will be able to move in any direction and can rotate his orientation with Q and E.
The second new mechanic is Oxygen. When you’re doing an EVA, your oxygen gauge will start to deplete. This effectively serves as a timer for moving from one location to another or completing puzzles; be sure to keep an eye on it. If you run out of oxygen, you will die and have to start over from a checkpoint.
Finally, the end of chapter 2 introduces you to the escalation in a flashback. Escalation is used once you’re a bit far along in the game; you use two climbing axes to move along the surfaces.
As with Chapter 1, there are plenty of puzzles to explore and collectibles to find; you can get details on puzzle solutions and collectible locations in our Chapter 2 Puzzles and Collectibles Guide.
