Description of your game - Minimum 50 words, maximum 200 words
In pursuit of knowledge,
a mysterious alien race has stretched its hand towards the Solar System and sown some of its seeds here. One of those seeds has found something interesting: a full moon, our Moon, shining brightly to the rest of the galaxy. Urged by its never-ending thirst for knowledge, the seed lands unnoticed on what we call the dark side of the Moon.

As barren and hostile as the Moon may be, the alien is happy to bathe in the fiery sunlight and roam free while exploring the weathered surface.


That was the description of the original jam entry. When it was written, the only working system was the movement system and there was nothing to do. Later we did a post-jam update, for which we implemented all of the originally planned features. Now the theme "Knowledge" was not only used in the story, but it became the essence of the game: the player has to gather knowledge of the game’s systems by deciphering obscure alien symbols and not too familiar user interface elements, or by progressing through trial and error. Not all of the game’s rules are intuitive, and nothing is explained to the player.
