As a big fan of the 70s TV cult classic “Space:1999,” any game about the moon sparks my interest. Thanks to Serenity Forge and Lifeless Worlds Studio, I believe I have found just the game to play.

Prepare to embark on a mesmerizing and thought-provoking journey as Lifeless Moon takes you on an adventure on the moon that looks nothing short of stunning! Set during an Apollo-era mission, the game follows two courageous astronauts who stumble upon a town eerily reminiscent of one on Earth. Little do they know that this discovery will thrust them into the heart of a profound conspiracy that will challenge their understanding of reality and the very fabric of existence.

In this meditative 3D adventure, players will be immersed in a world where reality unravels, adding an extra layer of complexity to an already monumental mission. Venture through strange environments that are both familiar and alien, as you collect clues and decipher unique puzzles. However, the town is merely the beginning of an unforgettable odyssey that spans time and space, leaving you questioning everything you know. 


Lifeless Moon is the latest creation from the talented team at Lifeless Worlds Studios, known for their popular 2014 title, Lifeless Planet. With a deep understanding of science education and a passion for classic science fiction like “The Twilight Zone,” the studio brings science to life in the realm of video games. Following the success of Lifeless Planet, the studio now presents the eagerly anticipated spiritual successor, Lifeless Moon.

Game Features:

1. Immersive 3D World: Immerse yourself in a hand-crafted sci-fi world that will captivate your senses. Explore the moon’s breathtaking landscapes and immerse yourself in its ethereal beauty.

2. Unravel Lunar Mysteries: Investigate the moon city and other enigmatic destinations as you dig deeper into the hidden truths that lie within. Each discovery unveils a new layer of the intriguing plot, propelling you forward.

3. Third-Person Platforming: Traverse surreal moonscapes with seamless third-person platforming mechanics, making your exploration both captivating and enjoyable.

4. First-Person Puzzles: Engage in strange and interesting first-person puzzles that challenge your intellect and creativity. With motion controller support, you can interact with the environment like never before.

5. Engrossing Storytelling: Uncover the truth through fully-voiced cutscenes, character dialogue, and mysterious artifacts. The narrative unfolds in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat, eager to unearth the secrets that lie ahead.

6. Collect and Decode: Piece together the fragmented past by gathering unusual items and reading text logs that offer deeper insights into the moon city and its inhabitants. Each clue brings you closer to understanding the enigma that surrounds you.

Lifeless Moon promises an unforgettable experience for players, blending haunting beauty, engrossing storytelling, and mind-bending puzzles into a mesmerizing adventure. As the spiritual successor to the cult-hit Lifeless Planet, the game builds on its predecessor’s success while venturing into new frontiers of mystery and intrigue. Step into the shoes of the astronauts and question everything as you launch into this extraordinary lunar odyssey. Lifeless Moon awaits, ready to challenge your perceptions and ignite your curiosity when it launches on PC on August 10th. Are you prepared to uncover the secrets that lie on the Lifeless Moon?

Based in Boulder, CO, game developer Serenity Forge puts so much care and creativity into their work. They create meaningful games that challenge the way you think. And Lifeless Worlds Studio was inspired by the vast glaciers of Alaska to make an alien landscape for founder, David Board’s first title, Lifeless Planet. He even has a cool day job here he develops science education apps for museums and science centers.
