Interstellar first person shooter adventure game Mystery of the Moon will be launched for PC via Steam October 28, editor indie.io and developer Cosmoscouts announcement.
“Mystery of the Moon is the kind of game we always wanted to play,” said Mikolaj Szymanowski, founder and lead designer of the game, in a press release. “A story-driven single-player adventure game with unique puzzles (how to move in zero gravity without thrusters, but a gun in hand?) and interactive scenes that players have never experienced before. Have you ever fallen into a black hole?
Here's a preview of the game, via indie.io:
Players will don an astronaut's spacesuit on the Silver Globe and embark on an epic interstellar first-person shooter adventure when it turns out there's much more to the Moon than just rocks and resources.
Mystery of the Moon begins with humanity's crowning achievement, a research outpost on the surface of the Moon, and the first step toward a journey across the solar system and further among the stars, realizing humanity's centuries-old ambition . Players take on the high-tech costume of an astro-geologist searching for exotic materials on the surface of the Moon that could make this dream come true, assisted by TOBY (Technical-Overseer-Bionically-Improved). The adventure begins when something goes horribly wrong and all contact with Earth is lost.
Stranded on the lunar surface, players will need to use their wits to survive in the most hostile environment visited by humans, traversing vast landscapes and exploring abandoned facilities left over from previous missions to the Moon. But surviving and exploring won't be enough: soon the adventure will take them across vast interstellar spaces, where no man has gone before. Players will confront technology gone rogue, master controllable vehicles from tiny RC cars to spaceships and even submarines, and adapt to evolving environments.
Mystery of the Moon begins on the silver globe, but will end far from the home of humanity. Each new environment offers new challenges: new vehicles to master, new enemies to defeat, and, of course, ever-changing environmental puzzles and platforming sequences that will force players to constantly adapt to the new twists and turns of experience.
Cosmoscouts is an independent Polish studio headquartered in Warsaw, founded to bring Mystery of the Moon to the players. What was originally one man's off-hours hobby in 2022 has blossomed into a full-scale game with a small but passionate group of developers creating the kind of adventure they've come to expect. always wanted to play. This passion was recognized on Kickstarter, where it was featured as a (Kickstarter) Loves project and exceeded its initial funding goal.
