From Earth is a science fiction first person game where the player, taking on the role of Zenaida Liu, lands on an alien planet that has never been visited by humans before. Pursued by the planet's government, she must find her partner Anthony Yaremov and continue her mission. With little resources of their own, they have to rely on alien technology and their communication skills to survive.
The player has two options. Either she can fight her way through, attracting the ire of the alien government, or she can try and seek a peaceful resolution. Whichever path she chooses, she will have to learn as much as possible about the alien technology and its creators if she wants to survive.
There has been a big focus on developing the interaction system, which allows the player to communicate with the aliens, including learning their language.

The player also has climbing abilities, which can come in useful if the player needs to run away from a fight. But if the player no longer feels like running away, she can always fight back.
