Okay... when a Space related horror games come out they're all very good and well made and this game hits the mark perfectly, the atmosphere, the dialogue, the tension? All very good, you got me very good at the end may I add. Keep it up Matthew! 💚🤌
Only complaint i have is that it isn't long enough. Also if you don't mind me asking what is the name of the song being played at the beginning/end of the game?
Atmosphere is pretty nice, especially how it makes you second guess things you see and do double takes. The capped jump is a bit jarring tho, could use some smoothing out. Also I kinda miss the quindar beep sound at the end of the transmissions, think that could go a bit of extra way in terms of that lunar mission atmosphere. Also no sun or earth in the sky but that's just me nitpicking lol. Keep on going my man, Id love to see more of this.
According to NASA, the cameras that took pictures were set to dim light, and thus there are supposedly no stars visible in any of the pictures, so I was pleasantly surprised to see sky full of them. It's also smart to have all those conversations going on while traversing the rocky terrain. Of course I wasn't going to stay put with something hurling toward me at warp speed. Hell no! Regardless, I got nailed at the end. Didn't like the extreme loud noise at the end, so I erased it.
I didn’t run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags, so kudos to all involved and thank you for making this interesting game! I had tons of fun playing it.
Really enjoyed this i was really gutted with the length though and hope that you revisit this in the future, as i think there was so many unanswered questions like the dialog at the beginning talking about after watching the footage it saw the person, there was no pay off for that but i just really loved the concept and thought it was super interesting and would love to see a fully fledged game of this!
Too much dialogue compared to scares/gameplay, but short so why not give it a try.
Ok so for a bit more detail. This game drew me in from the art and the space helmet filter, this leaves to some good atmosphere. This game even had a good starting idea that draws people in and can lend to a wide range of outcomes. This game makes you feel like you are on the moon from the low grav jumps to the space debris floating up from the ground ( I'm assuming this is what it is like on the moon XD). Even to the sprint back to the ship started very intense.
Now the biggest down side is the bloated expo dump at the start of the game. It is bad practice to dump a bunch a dialogue at the beginning of a game (without gameplay or anything to really keep the gamers attention) because as the gamer you aren't really invested in the game at first so the dialogue can come across as boring or drawn out if not paced well. Well this game is just walking, one interact, then more walking, so I see why you added this "story" to add some intrigue but I personally thinks it works against your game.
As I said in the starting sentence this game is pretty short so it doesn't hurt to give it a play and maybe you will get scared to by the jumpscare lol XD.
I play indie horror games and I actually try to give some actual feedback to hopefully help improve the dev aspect in some way (even if it's super tiny ;) ) I would appreciate it if you would check out my video. Sorry for the shill but closed mouths don't get fed. Thanks for the opportunity to play your game.
Thanks so much for this feedback, detailed feedback comments like the most valuable comments I get. Totally agree with your points. Looking back I think that this would work better if you start in an archive room and put the vhs tape (the "recording" of the game) in a vhs player, then a trimmed down version of the text can play on a physical TV in that room, before shoving your camera into the TV when the actual game starts for the first person perspective. Or something like that. I would really appreciate if you stay around for the next project where I will solve the problems you've seen here, I LOVE this feedback!! Thank you!
that actually sounds pretty cool ngl. Also I have to say it I saw another commenter mention doing some voice work for you for free. I would be really interested as well, it's kind of a small dream of mine to do voices one day. Good luck on your next projects and lmk if there are any in particular you would like me to take a look at
all the other ones are pretty old (The Space Sim is a cute little game tho if it’s something that’s right up ur alley like it is mine) this is my first time back in a while. Started college and a job so it got pretty hectic Link me a social media I can contact you on though because there are a bunch characters I need for my next project and I wanna stay away from AI. Thanks so much for playing man!!
I don't really have socials smh. A twitter maybe but I don't use it. Maybe you can leave a comment on something when you're ready if you remeber little ol me. Other then that I could add you on discord.
atmosphere was very good, and i was second gessing myself when i saw things in the distance. This was a good spook and it goes to show that a familiar spooky png can be scary :)
The atmosphere is amazing! I really enjoy alien themes games so this one hit the spot. Many thanks for making me panic haha! Could you please tell me the name of the song used in your game? It sounds so nostalgic! :)
The song, as well the dialog was generated with AI, this game was partially a test to see if I could start using AI to generate audio for these games, it seems most people can't tell. If you want Ill send you the song file.
Oh!! Wow, that's a cool idea to test. I would have never guessed it's written by AI. Yes, please, could you send me the song file? Much appreciated! :)
This was such a cool sci-fi horror game! Loved the build up and the atmosphere the game created! Seeing those faces in the distance was really creepy to see! Wish I could've jumped higher but overall, I highly enjoyed the game!
hey man! Absolutely loved the scenery here, the video will be posted today at 3pm est! and hey, if theres any slots open for some voice acting in your next game, lmk! I'd love to do so, for free as well!
Dude that would awesome. All the voices in this game are AI which isn’t what I want to do but I’m in college so cash is tight. I’m working on something right now so if you link a social media I’ll DM on there👍
Awesome! I've always wanted to do something like voice acting, and your game was actually really good! its the first one I've played so far, I'll definitely be checking out your other games! and I'd absolutely LOVE to voice act for you! but I can't promise it'll be amazing... I'll drop a few different dm'ing options for you to choose from! (not trying to promote my channel or anything to anyone, so I apologize if this looks like I am)
Thanks for the links bro I will contact you soon for sure. I’d say I’m about 2 weeks out from having a finalized voice lines so just keep ur eyes on ur Instagram DMs
Sounds good, thanks for giving me a chance! I'll check once a day, if I don't answer, then I will have answered the next day. Until then, I'll be checking out your other games over time! If you want, we can go ahead and friend each other on insta, and leave it at that till you dm and let me know about it!
Loved the concept of this. Reminded me a lot of the film "Apollo 18" in that regard. The moon felt massive and was so fun to float around. The story also seemed to be quite well done. If I had to request anything with this, it would be subtitles. I found myself missing bits of sentences here and there as I was running around.
All in all. Great little space horror with a wonderful aesthetic.
Great point on the subtitles. Would have defiantly been a good idea. Next ones in the oven and I’ll put those in there for sure. Glad you had fun with the aesthetic!
I missed your games so much! Excellent job at making this. The tense atmosphere really blended well with the story and of course the sound design was top notch! Great to see you back friend! Hope more games will come soon.
Good game my dude! Very fun with interesting dialog, that ending was super cool! Great sound effects and all around good job! I recommend completely! Here is my gameplay video, sub and help my channel grow everyone! :)
I found this footage last week while cleaning out my Uncles attic. I wish I never watched it, but I think people deserve to know the truth. I hope you enjoy.

Short but pretty damn solid! Loved this whole thing throughout, especially that ending chase segment. Panic definitely ensued! Made a video on it.
진짜 달에 온 것 같아요^^ 게임 재밌게 했습니다.

Thanks so much for playing I appreciate you! I am glad you enjoyed the game!
Nice short experience! The mood and how it evolves toward the end is the best about it.
Only complaint i have is that it isn't long enough. Also if you don't mind me asking what is the name of the song being played at the beginning/end of the game?
Nice Game!!!
cool good game

Such a simple game, but packed a lot of tension into it's short playtime.
Awesome, thanks for playing!! That’s exactly what I was going for! Thank you for your video👍

Hey man song is posted up on my YouTube Channel, you will find a link on the game page!
Thank you so much!
This was such a cool sci-fi horror game! Loved the build up and the atmosphere the game created! Seeing those faces in the distance was really creepy to see! Wish I could've jumped higher but overall, I highly enjoyed the game!
I wanted to float for longer, I still enjoyed this one though it felt like an episode of the twilight zone :) great work dev!
tranquility sadly did not listen to me :D glad to see you are still making games mate ! hope you enjoy the vid as well !
Really spooky. Gave me chills seeing those faces xD
I would say it would be nice to be able to jump bit higher.
Very intense and mysterious game.
