I’m excited to hear that the developers are working on finishing this story with free DLC to come later on. The very last puzzle in order to finish the game was extraordinarily nail-biting and gave me such a feeling of accomplishment once completed. Though the missions can be repetitive at times and become beyond frustrating due to the camera, this game has some of the most intense moments I’ve ever encountered. Developer KeokeN Interactive acquired funding from Kickstarter and made this game come to life thanks to their backers.
Even though you are a lone astronaut, the game conveys emotions of your predecessors through touching dialogue and hidden emails all throughout the Moon base.ĭue to its beautiful visuals and captivating story, anyone who plays Deliver us the Moon would be surprised to learn that it is a crowdfunded game. The further you dive into the game and unlock its secrets, the darker and more sinister the story becomes. The detail of the surface and the intensity of the dark, empty space will leave anyone in awe. While the graphics are good everywhere, the visuals are truly stunning once you are able to adventure onto the Moon’s surface. There are many achievements you can earn by scouting out comics, reading documents, or finding cute Easter eggs in the space center bathrooms. The player, once earning its ASE robot companion, unlocks recorded conversation and personal data logs from other space team members. Even though these puzzles are fun and exhilarating, the main objective is to find out what happened to the space center almost 5 years earlier. Given little direction you must complete tasks mostly involving switching battery cells that power up the station’s satellite diagnostic capabilities or accessing further areas. Deliver us the Moon’s setting is dark, eerie, and oftentimes cramped with very little sense of direction due to the uncontrollable and sporadic switching between 1st and 3rd person perspective. From traversing a desolate and broken-down space center, to having no oxygen in some areas, to encountering murderous sentry robots, this game really creates a pulse-pounding sense of urgency. For instance, taking a lunar rover onto the surface is enthralling the first time, but feels like a chore the next time out.“Deliver us the Moon” is classified as a Sci-Fi thriller but more importantly plays as an intense puzzle game that is looking to kill you in any way possible. I was a little annoyed that almost every door you need to access requires a puzzle or keycode, and some of your actions feel repetitive and lose their electricity after doing the same thing two or three times. The first-person camera is used sparingly, but is effective for intense, intimate moments, zero-gravity flight, and controlling a floating droid tied to some of the game’s best puzzles. There isn’t any combat, but if you don’t move quick enough in certain areas, you’re going to fail and have to retry. These moments are backed by well-designed controls and sometimes stunning set pieces, like a tall tower crumbling with you on it.
Third-person view is used primarily for on-foot sections, which can be as tame as exploring living quarters for clues or as thrilling as darting dangerously past spinning blades in low gravity. When you reach the lunar establishment, which is in ruin and not occupied by any life, exploration unfolds from both third- and first-person angles, often determined by the type of actions you must complete. You then get to experience the rocket launch from a first-person perspective, which beautifully illustrates the transition from Earth’s atmosphere to space. You are tasked to quickly throw the switches in the right order, a moment KeokeN cleverly achieves by highlighting your next interaction in a pink hue – making you look like a well versed astronaut. This is an awesome moment since you manually need to bring the rocket’s systems online from within the cockpit. Your mission is to power up the rocket and launch. Your first steps aren’t made on the moon, and instead unfold on Earth’s surface, which looks eerily alien given the yellow sky and dust-filled air. We have just enough energy to send a one-man rocket to the moon to figure out what went wrong, and hopefully bring the Helium-3 feed online again. Just when it seems we have a new beginning, the moon falls silent and the transmission ends. The nations of the world unite and develop a revolutionary way of transmitting Helium-3 to Earth. As luck would have it, we don’t have to travel far, as the moon is rich in a powerful isotope called Helium-3 that could solve the energy crisis. The game tells the grim tale of Earth running out of natural resources, forcing humanity to the stars to find other solutions.
