Lunar Strike is a single-player narrative adventure and exploration game set on the Moon’s South Pole in the year 2119.
You play as a junior archivist sent to document humanity’s final lunar colony. Your mission begins with scanning and preserving scientific, cultural, and personal records.
But when sabotage destabilizes the colony, the task shifts to survival under real lunar conditions: managing oxygen, power, and time while deciding what knowledge and memory must endure. Every choice shapes the archive—and the outcome of the colony itself.
Developed with ethical questions of legacy, memory, and responsibility at its heart, players will face increasingly difficult challenges to build and preserve the archive, with multiple outcomes driven by their decisions and values.
Rich, Multi-Faceted Narrative
Preserve the culture of the last remaining lunar colony while making game-altering decisions that impact the story, unravelling a new future for humanity.
No Combat
Lunar Strike focuses on survival, scanning, puzzle solving, and decision-making. The gameplay unfolds under time pressures, environmental degradation, and mounting ethical tension.
Grounded in Hard Science
Developed in collaboration with space researchers, the game incorporates realistic systems and hazards, including 1/6th lunar gravity, toxic Moon dust, and real-world physics.
Cultural Heritage as Gameplay
Preserve humanity’s story on the Moon. Through 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and archival logic, capture the final traces of lunar life before its collapse.
Rooted in Real Ethics and Science Fiction
Inspired by real-life heritage efforts, built by creators with backgrounds in cultural preservation and storytelling, Lunar Strike invites thoughtful engagement with space exploration.
