Second Dawn

Terraforming Hearth

Second Dawn is a first-person survival game for PC set on Hearth, a frozen, airless planet. You’re its lone advance party: the ship that brought you down can’t fly again, and the colony will arrive only when the world is ready. Your job is to survive and change the planet, starting with oxygen, water, food and shelter.

Printing machines pushes Hearth through eight terraforming stages, from Dead to Breathable. Heaters melt ice, vents thicken the air, and scrubbers add oxygen. As the stages change, so do the sky, ground, weather and sound. The First Rain falls, a frozen sea opens into water, and plants grow on bare slopes.
