In this game you play as a young man who has been sent to a new planet in order to find a cure for a plague that has been slowly killing the human population of humans on earth. Your wife has fallen ill and you quickly volunteer to go and search for a cure in order to save her before it is too late. Each volunteer is given a robot companion in order to help them survive on each new planet as well as to hold samples of possible plants and bacteria that could be a potential cure.
The gameplay consists of exploring around new environments, collecting samples and storing them inside your robot companion. The game takes place primarily on one planet with the option to jump to smaller nearby planets. There will be a storyline that leads you around the planet searching around potent places for samples, after each main sample is found a cutscene will trigger that shows how earth's population is faring and how your wife is doing. There will be open world exploration as well as side quests to complete.
The companion robot is designed to be a helper during your explorations. It can be used to transport you across landscapes faster than human legs can travel. Other things it's useful for are: inventory storage, sample evaluation, danger evaluation, and a shelter to sleep in during the night.
