About Astrophobia

Astrophobia is heavily inspired by the novella At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft and the film Apollo 18.

STORY

In 2001, astronauts Ben Dyer (the player) and Henry Danforth are sent to the Moon as part of a secret mission, Project Kadath, to study mysterious architecture far older than humanity. The civilization that built it did not survive, but something else did.

GAMEPLAY & FEATURES

  • A narrative-focused experience told through character dialogue which will unfold throughout multiple set-pieces and environments, such as the moon base, the moon's surface, and the monolithic city beneath the ground.
  • Immersive PSX-era aesthetics, including affine warping, vertex snapping, distance culling, pixelated textures, and low-poly models.
  • Exploration-focused gameplay centered on finding key items to progress through the story, enhanced by unique set pieces and locations.
  • Optional CRT Mode for even more retro vibes.
  • Many items can be interacted with to uncover additional lore.
  • Horrific monsters beyond human comprehension, rendered through classic Lovecraftian creature design.
  • An original soundtrack.
  • Low gravity hops, obviously.

    NOTE: Astrophobia is a short horror experience meant to be played in one sitting.

I understand the negative reviews for sure, the games horror Is really generic, literally elder thing jumpscare at one point (and the roaring? aren't they described as whistling to speak?), the main nitpick I have as a fan of the stories is the presence of human akin and human sized architecture in what supposed to be an ancient city no human could ever have built, in the mountains it was almost like hewn wide slopes the beings used for traversing. crude jagged angles going up or down, here it feels super out of place to see human stairs on what's supposed to be courtyards and altars made by beings that can fly or use tentacles to move. DESPITE THAT the atmosphere of the city is great, the dark hiding how big the open areas actually are and shrouding the tops and bottoms of towers stretching out of a chasm miles deep, perfect. I would still recommend it for the ambient horror but if it was any more expensive I couldn't, 2.99 is about perfect for this experience, sick music, not the mood imo

I want to thank my buddy CosmicArcade for giving me a key to check out his game early! I recently started getting into more lovecraftian genre of games within the last few years or so but this was a great experience and the atmosphere kept you on your toes the majority of my time playing. I would highly recommend this if you enjoy this genre of games and tense atmosphere. Also don't forget to give the monster a hug it's pretty lonely down here and all it wants is a friend :) If you'd like to check out my playthrough - https://youtu.be/u9WPDhF85-c

Too short, and the duration of the game is already being increased by the extremely slow movement speed. The story is also bland, the first 10 minutes are kind of interesting because of the mystery, but after that it already falls apart. There is no gameplay, you slowly move to a location, forced by things like invisible walls, and then you press E. I did like the retro graphics, but paying for something that lasts a bit over half an hour and the only good thing is the ps1-style graphics, i dunno man.

I really enjoyed playing this game. I have been recently getting into smaller horror games and this one did not disappoint. lots of build up for the scares. and for 2.99 it was a great experience.

Neat little game, spooky ambience but nothing too crazy in terms of gameplay. I liked it at least
