Phoning Home, an exploration game following a shipwrecked robot’s mission to contact his world and escape an uncharted planet, launches today on Steam for Windows. You can think of the game as a sort of mix of Wall-E and a brutal survival sim.

The story follows ION, an intrepid explorer who must find a way to survive in a hostile environment and send a distress signal home.
Along his journey, he encounters another marooned vessel with a mechanical castaway of its own named ANI, who soon becomes ION’s faithful companion.

“Phoning Home is a captivating game full of secrets waiting to be uncovered and breathtaking environments to explore,” said Marko Dieckmann, founder, ION LANDS. “It’s been a wonderful experience seeing this project transform from a concept into reality and everyone on the team is eager for the PC gaming community to see ION and ANI’s story unfold.”

The game is priced at $19.99 USD via Steam, but has a 10% discount during launch week. To learn more about Phoning Home, please visit the official website or Steam page.

We have a review of the game in progress.
