A great deity created the world named Engardin, leaving four goliaths before her departure. The Goliaths abided by their different divine callings and upheld the order and flow of this world. Hence, the lives in Engardin reincarnated and multiplied. Humans were the last creation, and their ever-expanding ambitions led to a protracted war against the Goliaths. Engardin was engulfed in flames, until a huge explosion known as "The Razing" devastated the Holy Grounds of mankind and brought a swift end to the conflict. But the divine order was broken, and lives withered away. The age of mankind came to an end. The survivors of the conflict scattered across Engardin. Severed from the Well of Mankind and unable to reincarnate, they banded together to form settlements. Years have passed since this great cataclysm, and the remaining human settlements have been suddenly assaulted by mystic forces. Renee, a young amnesiac girl and student of Aros, was the lone survivor of the attack on her village. Determined to recover her forgotten memories and locate her lost mentor, she bids farewell to her destroyed village to embark on a journey that will inexplicably set into motion a series of events that will determine the fate of this new world.

Year 2185: Spacecraft Noah-1 stars a long journey towards Alpha Centauri, carrying the first humans ever to travel beyond the Solar System. Its destination: Proxima b, a rocky planet tidally locked to the dwarf star Proxima Centauri. A world of extremes, where one side bathes in perpetual daylight while the other hides in eternal darkness. Incompatible with Earth life, its atmosphere is toxic and its oceans flow with sulfuric acid. As you step out of your landing pod, you realize that you are not alone. Proxima b is teeming with life — alien, primitive and aggressive. Your mission: survive Proxima b’s unforgiving environment and predators, while harvesting resources that will help humanity accelerate its expansion to Alpha Centauri. Features: * Reap the rewards of being one of the first humans to pioneer life beyond our solar system. * Extract natural resources (metals, polymers, and osmium) to build your headquarters and devices that will help you survive. * Unlock the mysteries of Proxima b as you explore its alien landscapes and fend off aggressive life forms. * Build a Cloning Bay to bring you back to life after you die. Which will happen, often. * Adapt and evolve by unlocking an arsenal of advanced weapons, powerful mods, and cutting-edge cybernetic implants. * Learn about Proxima b’s unusual biology and evolution. * Build a Particle Accelerator, produce Antimatter, and power a teleportation gate between Alpha Centauri and the Solar System. Expansion Beyond demands strategic thinking, careful planning, and fast reflexes. It contains scenes of mild violence, making it unsuitable for children.
