Thirty years after the first colonial ships departed from Ganymede, humanity embarks on a new and ambitious undertaking: Project Galileo! The goal is to expand human presence in the solar system by settling the four main satellites of Jupiter: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The project is named in honor of the Italian intellectual Galileo, who was the first to observe these moons in 1610, paving the way for our understanding of the cosmos. In Galileo Project, you take on the role of the same corporations that were protagonists in the events of Ganymede. Your mission is to colonize Jupiter's satellites, and to do so, you'll need to be strategic in acquiring robots from Earth and Mars, recruiting specialists with unique skills, developing cutting-edge technologies, and building impressive superstructures. The game is a standalone experience within the acclaimed Ganymede universe, cleverly combining the creation of powerful combos and the construction of an efficient game engine. Prepare for a space journey full of tactical decisions and the satisfaction of watching your interplanetary empire thrive!
