What if we stay? what if we move? well... all I can say is that this was a nice ambient game, it gave me a lot of realizations in life and i dunno why haha. Great work dev!
Totally agree, I spent almost all the time focused on the build up and should have spent a few extra days on the payoff at the end, next time the payoff will be equally as well done as the set up.
I played this game as part of a 3 scary games moon edition video and I have to say this one was pretty great as short as it was. This game starts at 54:00 in the video.
Starting out I chose this game initially because it has moon in the name. Going into indie games I like to be as blind as possible so I don't know what to expect. I started this game knowing that it had something to do with Apollo, but that was about it.
I also really enjoyed the sort of "forced" perspective by having the helmet as a static border around the game as we ran around the moon. It limited the FOV but it also really added to the suspense in my opinion.
~SPOILER~
I really enjoyed when the alien cut off communication with Houston and was using their voice to try and get us to stay where we are. Like that was super uncomfortable and such a great way to help build the unease. Plus the music, really added to the terror of being chased there at the end watching the counter go down as the alien got closer.
~SPOILER OVER~
Overall, I highly recommend this game as it really built the terror in a short amount of time.
I think you could do just about any environment and this would work.
If you've seen the movie "The Thing" doing something along a similar vein where you're isolated in an arctic environment with no way to contact society would be super cool. Or if you've seen the game "Soma" doing something where you're stuck along the bottom of the ocean would be terrifying as we don't know what's down there, so you can expand upon the terror of the unknown.
Overall, you have a great style and I look forward to seeing what you do in the future.
Awesome man I hope you stick around. Wanna know whats scarier than any game on this site though? My stats final exam about to take it right now. I'm locked in wish me luck!
Fantastic short experience, there's something very unsettling about being that out in the open, exposed and vulnerable to any entities watching from afar. Really cool atmosphere, the only thing that is truly missing are subtitles. It's very easy to miss out on information being said, specially when doing commentary for a video hahaha. Other than the need for subtitles, this was really a great game, good job dev(s)!
thank you for the feedback! A lot of people have given feeback about subtitles that was definatly an oversight. I’ll be including those in games from now on 👍
I wasn’t expecting a lot from this game, but man this was actually really well done. The build up and subtle images you could see on the hills really made me paranoid. A lot of fun!
El juego me ha encantado, te pone en tensión máxima cuando aparece el objeto y las demás cosas raras que ocurren, la historia y las voces de los personajes te sumergen, es como si estuvieras en una misión real en la luna, muchas gracias por compartir el juego, aquí dejo un vídeo que he hecho en español, saludos!!!
Game started out promising, nice dialogue and atmosphere, but then it just became jumpscare with a spoopy face. Come on now. Even the voice acting was top notch
I really enjoyed the experience! I just wish that it was a bit longer though! It's a bit short, but packs such an unnerving punch! Need more like it, maybe a prequel or a sequel with the guy who found the footage? Awesome job!

I swear this is one of the best short indie horror games out there.
The story was solid and the build up was amazing!
This game looks awesome
man I love space and this was amazingly great game!!
got a good scare
Great game!!!
all that buildup for a screamer?
Excellent game !
A screamer? Really? After such a promising set up? -_-;
Good scare and good ambiance, not a bad game at all
What if we stay? what if we move? well... all I can say is that this was a nice ambient game, it gave me a lot of realizations in life and i dunno why haha. Great work dev!
I love this game! Great atmosphere!!
i loveddd the eerie drag even the small ending when I kept going still got me!
200 dollar buildup, 2 dolla ending
agree with you
the atmosphere is just awesome, not just the feeling of dread but the loneliness, fantastic!
ALGO DIFERENTE
I really liked the jumpscare in the end! Keep up the good work!
Nice work! the sense of dread was palpable halfway through the game onward!
Live your dreams by being in an astronaut in a completely isolated climate away the the average troubles of life.
Very interesting game! Really wish the scare was executed a little bit better, and had a few more mechanics. Overall a good experience though!

Out of curiosity are there any other environments that you really enjoy in these style of horror games?
Btw thank you so much for playing!!
Yeah no problem. I really enjoyed it and your game popped up when I was looking for a third moon inspired horror game.

This was an amazing experience! Fantastic job!

The song is AI generated (I cant compose good music), then edited with Audacity and put through some filters. I forgot what site I used to make the song, but it was free to use.
