About this game
Tharsis is a turn-based strategy game which explicitly uses dice to determine the outcomes of your actions.
Spaceship Iktomi is on a mission to Mars when suddenly one of its modules blows up.

At every turn, the situation deteriorates and new modules present problems which might damage the ship or reduce the health of its remaining four crew members.
At each turn, you assign one action to each of the surviving crew.
Each astronaut has a few hitpoints and a few dice which can be rolled to repair a module, generate research, gather resources which depend on the module he/she is at, or power a special ability which varies with the crew member.
Each action destroys one die, which can be regenerated by consuming food or by special actions.
At the end of every turn you choose an additional crew action, whose effectiveness depend on the stress level of the astronauts.
Your mission is to have at least one member of the crew (and the ship) survive for 10 turns — even resorting to cannibalism if necessary.
About PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.
Gamevaro tracks Tharsis for PlayStation 4 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Tharsis to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS4 release dates back to 2016.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Tharsis, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 4 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
