About Astrophobia
Astrophobia sends you to the Moon in 2001 as part of a secret mission to investigate ancient alien architecture, only to discover that something monstrous still dwells in the darkness below. This narrative-driven exploration horror uses PSX-era visuals and Lovecraftian atmosphere to tell a compact cosmic terror story across the lunar surface and the monolithic city beneath it.
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.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Astrophobia is a short indie walking simulator with Lovecraftian horror atmosphere that players praise for its eerie mood and detailed low-resolution environments, but criticize for extremely slow movement, minimal gameplay beyond walking and pressing E, and a story that starts intriguingly but quickly becomes generic. Most players who enjoyed it felt it was worth the low asking price for the atmospheric experience, while those expecting substantial gameplay or narrative depth found it too brief and hollow to recommend.
The game itself is alright. Nothing too special, just a short horror game. But the main menu music is a banger! There's an achievement for listening the full track! Even though it has nothing to do with the game!2 found this helpful
This game is not 100% waste of time, but it will waste some of your time for no reason.. the player movement is annoyingly slow, and dont you dare take a branching path.. you'd slowly walk thinking there would be something but nope. Long walking distance, slow movement, no reward.. also maybe add voice acting to the story line, my ears are doing nothing while my eyes are busy with environment and subtitles. i really liked the vibe and feeling of this game though. i think it's not worth it's price even on 25% sale..1 found this helpful
This is a pretty good game, especially for only being roughly 30 minutes long. It is mostly story based with a little bit of exploration. Nothing too crazy in terms of gameplay, but overall really nice. The ending is honestly quite funny.
Lovecraftian horror brings feelings of dread from average protagonists being intellectual paragons of humanity being faced with the truth of how little their brilliant mind can achieve in the horrifying reality of the cosmos. This game boldly asks the question - what if the protagonist was retarded instead?
If you like PSX style horror games, then this is a fun one to spend an hour or two on. Mainly a walking simulator, but that's alright for these types of games. There's a couple of light puzzle/search elements, and you're definitely not alone in the area, but there's nothing exceptionally difficult about this game, its mostly vibes. Vibes are good though, there's even an analog filter you can toggle on and off. I played one of the dev's other games on a friend's account, GORE, and you can definitely see the stylistic similarities. It's pretty short, and the story is fairly straightforward (if you've read any Lovecraft at all you'll likely recognize certain beats right away), but its a fun one so I'll leave all that out because it's best experienced blind.
good game
