Players Like...

❤ Compelling Narrative and Branching Choices

The game immerses players in a text-based, choose-your-own-adventure experience, where they read through a science fiction/horror narrative written in the style of an audio drama. Players can make choices that directly impact the story and lead to multiple endings, encouraging them to replay the game to uncover the full truth behind the central mystery.

❤ Atmospheric Presentation and Attention to Detail

The game's static images, accompanying the text-based dialogue, effectively transport players to the game's setting on the moon. Developers have paid close attention to incorporating "hard science" elements, such as references to gravity, temperature, and space suit mechanics, which enhance the overall sense of realism and immersion.

❤ Limited Interactivity but Strong Storytelling

While the gameplay is relatively simple, with limited interactivity beyond selecting dialogue options, the game's strength lies in its well-written characters, engaging plot, and effective blending of science fiction and horror genres. Players praise the game's ability to craft an atmospheric and captivating narrative experience.

❤ Repetitive Replay Experience

Some players have noted that the lack of a seamless rewind or branching system can make replaying the game to explore different paths feel repetitive, as they have to re-experience large chunks of the story before reaching diverging points.
