In 2021 humankind received a distress signal from the far side of the Moon, and immediately sent four brave people to investigate its source. You will be monitoring the astronauts and make decisions that will directly impact the story and the characters. Each choice may lead you closer to - or farther from - the truth.

- Communicate with the astronauts in real time
- Influence the story by making your own decisions
- There are multiple endings, including happy ones :)

- What separates this game from other text quests like Lifeline, are the awesome photos that the team sends your way while exploring the source of the signal

A nice dose of nostalgia, thank you for the lovely story.3 found this helpful
used to play this on mobile 3 years ago now bought a PC version, was too overhyped the game is actually interesting and scary at some points but it actually gets on nerves when you have to go back every time you kill your team and complete all the steps one again + devs abandoned this project u cant even see mistake you made, thats what turns me off from zarya 1 tho i recommend it
It's ok.
I bought this game only because I remembered the time when I played it on my phone years ago. It's cool but I wish there was more to it. Worth its price but don't expect someting mind-blowing.
Intriguing, but simple text based game that is a few steps away from being a visual novel. The mystery is great and I love how you can't learn the full truth about it if you only go for the "best" ending. Shame the game doesn't really have gamestates and it is just a choose your own adventure.
interesting plot but requires a lot of rewinding because right choices are not made on any logic, just random so in order to pass you have to rewind and listen to all dialogs which quickly become boring and annoying.
