Lunar Nightmare

Lunar Nightmare is a sci-fi horror game set in 2049 at AstroGenica Lunar Nexus, a lunar research base where an experiment has gone wrong. You awaken alone in the medical bay and explore the abandoned base, searching for clues about the crew and the force that has warped the facility.

The lunar base

The crew’s recordings, fragmented logs and experiments reveal that their research unleashed an ancient extraterrestrial force that feeds on fear. The lunar entity has twisted reality, bringing grotesque manifestations of the crew’s worst fears to life. As you uncover what happened to the people who lived there, you piece together a dark cosmic secret and approach the entity at the heart of the base.

Explore and survive

You navigate the base and the lunar landscape with a flickering flashlight, solving puzzles, avoiding otherworldly threats and using your inventory to work through puzzles inspired by audio and cyberpunk themes. You can travel long distances across the Moon’s surface in lunar vehicles. A blaster helps you survive encounters with rogue AI-controlled androids, and occasional jump scares punctuate the exploration.

The game takes under three hours to complete. You can run, though walking is suggested for exploring the background story.
