Impact

Impact is a sci-fi game about building and managing a lunar base. You construct facilities, develop technologies and protect your base and crew from the Moon’s hazards. As the base expands, it generates scientific data that the European Space Agency (ESA) uses to train an AI intended to improve future lunar landings.

Build and develop your base

Plan the infrastructure needed to survive and grow on the Moon, including solar power plants, living quarters and research labs. Discover technologies to help overcome lunar conditions, improve your base and open up new opportunities for exploration.

Protect your crew

Prepare for meteor storms, moonquakes and other cosmic hazards that threaten the base. The game follows your crew through triumphs and setbacks, while your decisions affect how the base develops and what data it produces.

Scientific research

The data generated as you build and expand the base contributes to ESA’s AI training for future lunar landings. The game also describes players’ decisions as having consequences for real-world space research and the safety and efficiency of future lunar missions.
