KeokeN Interactive and Wired Productions have released a new dev diary for their upcoming sci-fi thriller, Deliver Us The Moon.
In the game, players control Earth’s last astronaut on a desperate mission to uncover the truth behind what happened to humanity’s Moon colony, which suddenly went radio silent years earlier. In the above dev diary, Game Director Keon Deetman discusses how the Apollo 11 mission inspired him to make games about humanity reaching for the stars.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
Deliver Us The Moon is a Sci-Fi thriller set in an apocalyptic near future where Earth’s natural resources are depleted. In an effort to solve the energy crisis, global powers created the World Space Agency and secured a promising new source of energy on the moon.
The World Space Agency colonized and operated from the moon until one fateful night all communications with Earth ceased and the energy source was lost. Now, years later, you assume the role of Earth’s last astronaut on a do-or-die mission to investigate what happened and save humanity.
During this adventure, your only companion is a small robot named ASE. Together you will traverse the moon, explore abandoned facilities, gather clues and ultimately uncover the secrets and hidden agendas of those long gone!
Will you save mankind or be forgotten in the dark abyss of Space?
