Something Bad in the Moon is a suspenseful game set against the backdrop of the mysterious Apollo 17 mission, the last officially recognized trip to the moon. The narrative suggests that following this mission, further lunar expeditions were conducted in secret, driven by an unsettling event recorded during Apollo 17. Players step into the boots of an astronaut piecing together this hidden history through a gameplay style that blends simulation and investigation, all delivered through a found footage approach. The environment is crafted to replicate the eerie, isolating expanse of the lunar surface, challenging players to navigate and interact with their surroundings in pursuit of the truth.
In Something Bad in the Moon, players utilize a straightforward but immersive control system that mirrors realistic astronaut operations: WASD keys for movement, the Space bar for jumping, the Shift key for sprinting, and the Mouse 2 button to closely observe objects and the environment. This control setup helps simulate the physical challenges of maneuvering in a space suit on the lunar surface. As they explore abandoned sites and forgotten equipment, players must rely on their observational skills and quick reflexes to solve puzzles and avoid potential hazards. The game’s use of sound and visual effects, such as the unsettling quiet of space interspersed with static-filled audio transmissions, heightens the tension, making each discovery a pulse-racing event.
