Whether in your hands or on your wrist, the official Ridley Scott film tie-in game lets you take an active role in getting Astronaut Mark Watney back on Earth.

Developed by Little Labs and available for Android and iOS devices -- including smartwatches -- from Friday, "The Martian: Bring Him Home" casts players in the role of the NASA communications specialist whose decisions will ultimately decide Watney's fate.

"The storyline is a perfect fit for simulating real-time communication gameplay and we're excited to see how players react to the unique twists and turns of the story based on their decisions," said Gavin Potts, Director of Product at Little Labs of the game.
