About Dark Moon


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.

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. You must constantly move forward.

NON-LINEAR SURVIVAL

A different experience with each playthrough as each location and event may bring unpredictable results. Scan the terrain and obstacles with your drones to prepare for what lies ahead. 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. Develop new mechanical prototypes that will enhance your mineral gathering or focus on enhancing your convoy's movement speed to elude the Sun's deadly grasp. You can't stay in one place for too long.

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.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's unique and creative concept of a deadly sun survival scenario with solid visuals, but the experience is severely hampered by numerous game-breaking bugs, poor performance, and a confusing UI that makes gameplay frustrating. The lack of developer support and updates for months has left the community skeptical about whether these issues will ever be fixed, with many players feeling their time was wasted trying to make the game functional enough to progress.

dont bother, the concept is great, but the game is unfinished, achievements for completing the game is only 0,2% (of all players), lots of game breaking bugs, and devs abandoned it, no updates or any info for months...

Nice concept. It could be a good game. But we are over six months after release and game still is full of glitches and performance issues. I literally restarted the campaign 3 times trying to make it work, but after a few hours in, performance is unbearable. I lost hopes to see it fixed anytime soon. I avoid putting negative reviews, I think this is my first one. But I do feel I had 20 hours wasted trying to make it work.

Nice concept, good visuals, and... thats it. UI is an absolute mess. Complicated, disorganized. Not for me.

Dark Moon is a science-fiction survival strategy game developed by Jujubee S.A. and published by 101XP that builds its entire identity around a fascinating and unconventional idea. Instead of protecting humanity from hostile creatures, environmental disasters, or invading armies, players must survive a catastrophe in which sunlight itself has become deadly. Set on the Moon after a devastating solar event cripples Earth and transforms direct exposure to sunlight into a lethal threat, the game combines colony management, exploration, resource gathering, and moral decision-making into a tense struggle for survival where darkness is the only refuge. The game's narrative begins with a routine lunar operation that quickly spirals into a nightmare. A powerful solar storm destroys critical systems on Earth and cuts off communication, leaving lunar personnel isolated from humanity's home world. The situation becomes even more alarming when survivors discover that exposure to sunlight is now fatal. This revelation completely alters the rules of survival and establishes one of the game's most compelling strengths: its ability to transform a familiar element of everyday life into a source of …

I did not like the premise of this game (constant running out of time because of the incoming sun), but the game is not bad. I am sure that some of you will like it.
