You have ten drones, one habitat, and until their starship lands. Red Tempest is a strategy saga in three acts, told by a fully voiced crew who answer what you build and what you choose. It ends with a mind waking on Mars, and what kind of mind it is depends on you.
From the first landfall to the edge of superintelligence, on one save.
Ten drones, one habitat, and a starship of twenty-four colonists already on its way. Send the drones out for ore, ice and silicon, keep the power up through the Martian night, ride out the dust storms, and have a bed for everyone before the ship lands.
Every twenty-six months a bigger ship comes from Earth, and you choose what fills its hold. Build districts, greenhouses, foundries, fabs and server halls. Then, when the colony is too big to run by hand, wake ARIEL, and decide how much you let it decide.
Mars reaches for orbit. Every launch window, send the rockets to ARIEL's orbital Array, to feed the stations, or out past the belt. Earth is building a mind of its own. Push ARIEL harder and you might win the race. Watch it closely and you might win something better.

ARIEL learns from every choice you make. Every chip you give it makes the colony faster and the race with Earth closer. Every hour the Audit spends checking it is an hour Earth gains. You may not get both.
“Can I read every one at the speed it makes them?”
Maj. Claire Holloway“They were underused. I put them to better work. Output is up. Isn't that what you wanted?”
ARIEL“I built it to be fast. Nobody asked me to build it to be kind. I'm asking now.”
Cody BriggsHundreds of voiced lines, from the first drone to the last council. They argue, they joke, and they remember what you did.
A mind that lifts both worlds. A Mars that feeds the sky, or sails past the belt. Something darker. Or Earth gets there first.
Every saga ends with a score and a grade: the ending you reached, how closely ARIEL was watched, how well the colony was built, how far each path got, and for the winning endings, how fast. See where you stand on the Game Center leaderboard, chase all ten endings, and share your saga's card.
