It's sold as a cross between Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress, which might go some way to explaining why crowd-sourcing was a better means of defraying production costs than a Ben-10 licence and a deal with the likes of Activision, and its art promises to invoke the glory days of 1970s space films.
Meteor strikes, seismic activity and alien nastiness all threaten the lives of your settlers as you create a network of sub-surface chambers for them to live in. This carnival of extra-terrestrial horrors has been put together by Frontier alumus Simon Roth, incidentally, and it's set in Tau Ceti, which has been in the news recently because there's a good chance one of the planets is habitable. Now that's marketing.
