'Dark Moon' Announced - Screens & Trailer

Dark Moon is a survival strategy game where in order to survive you must avoid the Sun's scorching rays and embrace the darkness.

Dark Moon is a survival strategy game where time is working against you. With the Moon’s electronics down it is up to you to traverse the lunar soil and try to make contact with Earth while managing your crew and resources. You will never know what you will encounter along your way, thus be prepared to make crucial decisions and live with the consequences. Whatever you do - don’t go into the light!

As a member of the Engineering Council sent by Moon Shell, your task was to oversee the construction of a newly developed mining system on the Moon. The simple objective changed dramatically when a massive solar storm hit the Earth, destroying all electronics in its wake. Soon after, you witness the Sun's scorching heat as the Moon's main communication relay falls into the light. You are alone, and now everything within the Sun's reach is gone within seconds. The light is your enemy and the darkness is your salvation.

Gather resources, upgrade your mobile base, make tough moral decisions, and keep moving forward. Remember, whatever you do - don’t go into the light!


“We’ve always wanted to tell mature and engaging stories as well as educate our players about our world. With Dark Moon we will be able to do both, to tell a story of one’s struggle to come back home from the Moon. As a real-time strategy title with survival elements, we believe the game could become an emotional journey, especially with the moral choices the players have to make along the way.” - Pawel Nitta, Head of Marketing & PR.

Key Features:

  • Solar Pressure: The Sun is destroying everything it touches, you must avoid its radiance. The Mechaplex - a giant, general-purpose engineering vehicle will stand as your base of operations. It will also serve as your getaway vehicle, thus plan your actions accordingly and escape the tireless enemy. 
  • Non-linear Survival: A different experience with each playthrough as each location and event may bring unpredictable results. Embrace or beware of other survivors who will want to join your convoy. Gather minerals and use their properties to increase your chances of survival. 
  • Manage Your Mobile Base: The Mechaplex is your means of survival; build new buildings on top of it, research new technologies, enhance your crew's abilities, and traverse the lunar plains. 
  • Impactful Decisions: You are not the only one who is seeking a way out of this disaster. New crew members, some even pilots such as yourself, can join and bring you valuable abilities and new building platforms, but you have to feed and shelter them. Will you help the unfortunate? Or will you look out for yourself and not risk being betrayed? What kind of person are you?
  • Crew Relationships: Keep in mind that your crew will react to your decisions. Some members will dislike joining with someone from a rival country while others will embrace him. Decide to throw out a popular member and you may risk a revolt, which may have dire consequences for everyone.

Dark Moon is in development for PC, scheduled for June 2020.
