Science-fiction has always existed in the light of advances in science. In Grand Star’s post-apocalyptical epic story, after events that we won’t spoil for you, the Earth lies under a crust of the Moon’s dust. The dusty atmosphere blocks sunlight from reaching down where humans live. A new ice age forces the survivors to live in globe-covered cities linked together by all-powerful train companies.

Try to imagine a world where winter never stops.

There are two ways you can visit this universe impossible to imagine without science and based on Georges-Jean Arnaud’s books. First, you can catch the TV series Sunday at noon and Saturday at noon on Télé-Québec. You can also play the strategy game we showcase here on gameforscience. The game is a lot of fun whether you’re a fan of the series or not.

It is a strategy game, available both in single and multiplayer modes. You want to try it? Step into the arcade. It is loaded in a machine on the first floor.
