Exploring the Depths of Uranus!

A mining game of strategy and resource management set at the very edge of the solar system.

Exploring the Depths of Uranus is a planning and resource strategy game where every decision you make will leave profound consequences. Trade, explore, or just shoot anything that moves...the choices are yours to make. Find priceless artifacts, valuable ores, and friendly (or possibly hostile) natives, but remember: this is Uranus, a harsh environment filled with toxic gases and unpleasant surprises.
