Tharsis shows that in space, no one can hear you scream in frustration

Tharsis is about humanity’s first manned mission to Mars — and all of the ways it can go terribly, terribly wrong.

While on its way to investigate a mysterious signal originating from the red planet, the spaceship Iktomi suffers damage from a micrometeoroid storm. Its four surviving crew members must then battle various mechanical issues, food shortages, and bad dice rolls to reach their destination alive.
