Waking Mars is a small, relaxing, but never boring game that features a pretty fun mechanic and an engaging story about a science researcher that is stranded on Mars.

I got it in a Humble Bundle years ago and I don't want this game to be overlooked or forgotten. If you like space, and the mystery surrounding Mars' past, this is a great game for you. It is available on mobile and Steam!

Give it a try! The Steam version is the best one, the keys are a bit expensive now (they are on sale sometimes) but you may find other ways to get a key. Or maybe you have it lying around from an old bundle? If anyone else has played it too, I'd be happy to discuss it!

Can't get it rn, but it's the kind of a post that usually leads to an underlooked treasure. Gotta save it to a wishlist.

I had this on mobile and never finished it as the controls were annoying. The ecosystem was very engaging iirc.

It is a bit better on the PC where you use the mouse

It is available on mobile BUT I encourage you to get the PC version on Steam because the mobile one doesn't include the pretty decent voice acting

That's odd; I was sure that I played some of this on Android with voice acting, so I searched my records and discovered that I also got it from Humble Bundle. I just downloaded and installed it to check, and aside from a warning that it was written for an older version of Android, it seems to be working fine, full voice acting included. There's an option to turn it off, but it was on by default for me.

Maybe there was an issue with your specific device?

Thanks for checking! I will update the post.
