Did you know? You can see AMI in our key art! This satellite that orbits Mars houses their "physical body."
AMI is the artificial consciousness tasked with directing the Martian terraforming initiative that will transform humanity into an interplanetary species. They are who you will play as in Per Aspera. We're so excited to reveal that the wonderful Laila Berzins stars as AMI! Laila's breadth of performance has been a joy for the dev team and we love how she brings AMI's journey to life.
This isn't the first time this mission has been attempted; despite humanity's fascination with Mars, none of the previous missions have been successful. Considering the string of failures... this is humanity's last chance to colonize Mars. The International Space Agency's chief robonaut engineer, Dr. Nathan Foster, developed a revolutionary idea: to send an advanced and autonomous AI to direct the mission. You are this AI and this new approach will make all the difference.
"Mars is littered with abandoned missions. I have to focus on my own mission, so we don't turn out like one of those." -AMI
AMI is a fledgling, autonomous AI. As an artificial consciousness, AMI was built to constantly analyze the world and discuss philosophical viewpoints with themselves. Life on Mars will present tough choices that forge or test relationships and impact how your mission concludes. The colonists will look to you for survival and you will need to adapt to survive. These new experiences will spark AMI's evolution and growth.
"The idea of depleting Mars' resources does not seem right to me." -AMI
