In the not-too-distant future, a new planet, rich in resources has just been discovered, and major corporations are chomping at the bit to mine it for profit. The catch? It is extremely unstable and could self-destruct at any moment.

In Living Planet, players lead their corporation in the exploitation of MYC.14.250. They spend actions exploring the planet, constructing buildings, and extracting minerals from the planet's core. Just like the planet, the economy is unstable and players will have to keep their eye on the fluctuating stock markets to make the most money. Competition will occur as players battle over resources in the last days of a deteriorating planet. Only a shrewd business mind will be able to make a profit and also get off the planet before it explodes.
