Lead a Colony on Europa: Lies Under Ice

Embark on an epic journey as you lead the first human settlement on Jupiter's icy moon, Europa. In "Lies Under Ice," a 200,000-word interactive science fiction novel by Joey Jones, your decisions will shape the fate of this distant colony.

Unraveling Europa's Mysteries

In the year 2079, your mission is to establish a thriving colony while exploring Europa's treacherous oceans and terraforming the moon. But beware, not everyone is working towards the same goals. Political factions within your colony are constantly vying for power, each with their own hidden agendas. Will this colony become a hub for trade, a refuge for Earth's growing population, or a new society untethered from old models? The choices you make will determine the future of Europa.

Harness Advanced Technology

Equipped with cutting-edge technology like massive terraforming systems, gene splicing, AI therapy-bots, and nerve-connected bionic prosthetics, you have the tools to venture into the hostile frozen world. Dive beneath the ice, pilot submarines through uncharted waters, and uncover the secrets of an alien world. Will these revelations be a threat or an incredible opportunity?

Customize Your Experience

Choose your character's identity from various options including gender, sexuality, and relationship status. Select from six distinct professional backgrounds such as diplomat, aerospace engineer, arcologist, asteroid miner, pilot, or marine biologist. Each choice will influence how you interact with the environment and other characters.

Manage Complex Needs

As the leader of an extraterrestrial base, you must manage the intricate needs of your colony. Prioritize worker comfort, maximize scientific output, and construct luxury domes or intricate ice tunnel networks. Engage in terraforming efforts to make Europa habitable. Every decision counts in this delicate balance.

Navigate Political Intrigue

From millions of miles away, navigate the complex political landscape of Earth's squabbling factions. Your actions can either unite or divide them, shaping the future of Europa in profound ways.

Interact with Alien Ecosystems

Interact with Europa's unique ecosystem. Will you introduce fish as a sustainable food source, bring cats for companionship, or rely on synthetic creatures to avoid disrupting the natural order? Each choice will impact the colony's survival.

Run for Office

As Europa's fledgling government takes shape, run for office and shape the colony's policies and direction. Your leadership will determine the colony's success or failure.
