If it’s not interactive it can still provide a clue to what is actually going on, and even pulls a thread or two in the wrong direction to make the final reveals hit even harder. Nothing seems to be there as purely scenery. With a pace that balances the urgency of saving the world against the player wanting to check out every tiny detail, this is a title that’s best enjoyed by absorbing everything. The story is crafted to drip feed the main plot points steadily throughout, and is supplemented by oodles of environmental information and readable logs.

With oceans dwindling and the climate becoming arid, the visionary scientists that left the planet discovered that our biggest satellite was rich in Helium-3, and that this could be transmitted across the reaches of space by microwave. See, when resources ran scarce and minerals were mined out, man looked to the moon to provide the solution to the lack of power generation in the world. There’s a really epic solitary tale at play in Deliver Us The Moon as you take the role of an astronaut in the mid-21st Century tasked with finding out why the Earth has been without power for 5 years. Will it be a giant leap for the fledgling studio, or a small step in the wrong direction? Better pressurise the spacesuit and top up the oxygen… it’s time to set off on an ambitious orbital adventure. Coming after plaudits from the Steam release, there’s been a lot of anticipation for the game and now its time to experience what it has to offer. ![]() Released originally on PC in September 2019 after a successful Kickstarter campaign, Deliver Us The Moon has been ported to consoles from the KeokeN Interactive original by the team at Sock Monkey, getting the story of lunar exploration and survival out to as many gamers as possible. ![]()
