About the Game

Built in Unreal Engine 5, Lunar Odyssey is an immersive first-person VR celestial experience, depicting details of the Apollo Missions and the Lunar Lander, the moon surface and Apollo-era technology with impressive accuracy. Lunar Odyssey early access offers the player both a mission-based mode (Escape) and free-roam.



ESCAPE
In Escape, during a modern day mission, the player is stranded on the Lunar surface after an incident and must utilize Apollo-era technology to Escape. Follow exacting launch procedures used by astronauts on the Apollo Missions to successfully launch the LM before your oxygen runs out.



EXPLORE
In Free Roam, the player is free to explore the lunar surface near the Orontius Crater which has been faithfully recreated from NASA scans. The player will also be able to interact with a variety of experiments and hardware from Apollo-era Lunar missions.



SPACE GOLF
Space Golf is a fun mini-game included in the Free-Roam mode. Hit the targets at various distances to earn points! Whether you're competing for the high-score (currently 441 by one of our QA team members), or just having a relaxing golf session, Space Golf is a great time!

NOTE: This game is built in Unreal Engine 5, which itself is still in Beta.
