Overview
Description

Set in the year 2287, survivors of a crashed colony ship must brave the alien planet Maria, battling creatures and harsh environments while gathering resources. The game blends RPG progression with open‑world sandbox freedom, letting players shape the terrain, craft weapons, and construct vehicles.

In Robinson's Requiem you assume the role of a stranded Robinson on a mysterious alien planet, teaming up with a telepathic woman who holds the key to leaving. The game blends first‑person role‑playing, survival mechanics and sci‑fi adventure as you battle the elements, illness, and injuries while uncovering a way home. The graphics combine pre‑rendered sprites with voxel‑based terrain, delivering a unique visual style. Craft tools from scavenged materials, manage health risks like flu and infections, and make critical choices that determine whether you escape or succumb to the harsh environment.
