The second episode, “Earth’s Last Hope,” introduces the larger storyline of the game while also focusing on the father-daughter relationship that takes center stage.

The young astronaut Kathy Johanson is the protagonist of Deliver Us Mars. She joins an important mission to the Red Planet to recover the ARKs. The ARKs are giant colonization ships that could give humanity a chance to undo the damage that pollution and climate change have done to Earth.

Kathy has more than one reason to join the mission, however: Years earlier, Kathy’s father, Isaac, left her behind and disappeared with the ARKs, making him a wanted criminal on Earth. Now mysterious news has convinced her there’s a chance he’s still alive – and Kathy won’t stop until she finds out the truth about his whereabouts.

Earth’s Last Hope introduces the cast of Deliver Us Mars, who bring the characters to life in fully animated cinematic sequences. Ellise Chappell (Young Wallander, Poldark) plays the protagonist Kathy Johanson. Neil Newbon (Resident Evil Village, Detroit: Become Human) plays Kathy’s father, Isaac.
