How it feels

You methodically follow authentic Apollo-era procedures in a vast, silent lunar landscape, with the constant pressure of oxygen running out.

What players say

Players praise the realistic lunar module interior and the novelty of space golf and a moon buggy, but they are split on the game. Many find the launch procedure tedious, typing numbers for 30 minutes, and the payoff weak. Hand tracking and controls are widely reported as unreliable, and multiple players state development was abandoned years ago.
