''Phoning Home'' is an [[WideOpenSandbox Open-World]] SandboxSurvival VideoGame by [=ION=] [=LANDS=].

[=ION=] is a young exploration unit on a mission. On this mission, his ship crash lands on an alien planet. In order to get home, he needs to contact his home planet. And to do that, he needs to start scavenging for materials to make a radio. Luckily, with his ship's A.I. able to communicate with him, [=ION=] at least has some help.

On his journey, [=ION=] meets [=ANI=], a small, also stranded service unit. Soon, [=ION=] realizes he will need her in order to get off the planet as well. So, the two of you set out on you mission to survive, and ultimately get off, this planet.

The game was released on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} for {{PC}} on February 7th, 2017.
