You won't arrive at your destination for several hours after beginning Deliver Us Mars, but the world-building makes it worth the wait.
Leaving these frustrations aside, however, I quickly found myself entranced by the potential of the future. My favorite bits were controlling a little robot pal to peer through grates or doors, or to fly through conveniently placed vents and eavesdrop on people trying to keep secrets from me.
There are few nods to real-life space tech within the game, although clearly there was European Space Agency support. There's a neat scene near the beginning where you walk into a beautiful building; outside, the front entrance has a circular plaza surrounded by flags, all flying the ESA logo. The glass-fronted building has a sleeker and more modern look than its Paris headquarters, but the fictional HQ is similarly curvy.
Overall, Deliver Us Mars is a fun romp into Red Planet exploration as long as you can be forgiving with the controls and the wayfinding. In playing it and exploring the events in the storyline, which deal with injustice on the family and corporate scale, I found myself thinking about the mistakes we made in history when it came to exploring new lands: colonization, slavery, wrecking Indigenous communities, extracting resources for profit and so on.
