Deliver Us Mars blends planetary exploration with storytelling that makes use of a talented cast of motion-captured actors. This includes performers Ellise Chappell as Earth’s youngest astronaut Kathy Johanson, and Neil Newbon as her father Isaac Johanson, with the story following Kathy as she journeys to Mars to recover stolen Ark colony ships. The game is a sequel to 2018's Deliver Us the Moon, taking place a decade later.

Neil Newbon has long been a part of the acting world in video games and beyond, best known to players for characters like Karl Heisenberg in Resident Evil Village and dual roles Elijah Kamski and Gavin Reed in Detroit: Become Human.

Newbon is even the co-founder of Performance Captured Academy, a training facility for mo-cap actors.
