About this gameFull description from Steam
EXPLORE. EXPERIMENT. ADAPT. Welcome to the world of Honeycomb! Step into the role of Hennessy, a bioengineer sent to an alien world in search of knowledge that could help secure humanity’s future. Your mission for EON Corp will take you across the vibrant wilderness of Sota7 - a planet filled with unfamiliar ecosystems, extraordinary lifeforms, valuable resources, and dangers you were never trained for. DISCOVER A LIVING ALIEN WORLD Sota7 may be beautiful, but it is not harmless. Some creatures may tolerate your presence. Others won’t. Learn when to approach, when to keep your distance, and when running is the smartest experiment you can perform. From vast open landscapes to hidden underground caverns, Sota7 is home to diverse biomes filled with strange plants and creatures. Study the world around you, learn how its ecosystems work, and uncover the properties of newly discovered species. Curiosity is one of your greatest tools - but on Sota7, getting too close can have consequences. BECOME A BIOENGINEER Discovery is only the beginning. Use bioengineering to synthesize unique plant properties and manipulate animal DNA to trigger fascinating physical changes. Experiment with different combinations, analyze the results, and use what you learn to push your research further. The right breakthrough could change your mission - or humanity’s future. BUILD YOUR BASE OF OPERATIONS But a scientist needs more than a notebook. Gather resources and establish a base where you can live, work, craft, and conduct experiments. Expand your facilities as your research grows and use your tools to help turn your designs into a functioning base of operations. Build what you need, where you need it, and prepare for longer expeditions into the unknown. SURVIVE THE UNKNOWN Every expedition is an opportunity. Search Sota7 for useful materials, craft the equipment you need, and keep an eye out for resources that can improve your chances of survival. The deeper you venture, the more you’ll need to understand the planet - and prepare for what might be waiting there. Because remember - the environment isn’t always your best friend. FEATURES Exploration - Sota7 has vast, diverse biomes, each with different plants and animals for you to discover. Scan various flora and fauna to learn more about this world and how you can adapt to survive in it. Crossbreeding - as an EON-certified bioengineer, you are qualified to perform various experiments, from synthesizing plant properties to mutating animal traits! And who knows, maybe the answer to Earth’s Eco Crisis lies on Sota7? Building - a scientist, especially on an alien planet, needs their base of operations. IVS will provide you with blueprints needed to live comfortably and efficiently. Survival - as beautiful as Sota7 is, it is still a completely new world with its own rules and adversities. Perform research in order to discover how to make sure you don’t perish during your mission.
