About the Game

MOONCRAFT is currently in Early Access. Thank you for supporting this project as it continues to grow.

The Mission

You are stranded near a damaged landing pod on the lunar surface. Your suit is cracked, oxygen is draining fast, and hostile alien creatures roam the darkness. Your goal is simple: survive.

Gameplay Overview

MOONCRAFT is a lunar survival sandbox focused on exploration, resource gathering, crafting, base building, and combat. Every session begins with limited oxygen and basic tools, pushing you to quickly secure resources and establish a safe perimeter before nightfall.

Core Gameplay Features

  • Resource Mining: Harvest regolith, basalt, ice, neon ore, crystal, and rare anomaly materials from the lunar terrain. Each resource unlocks new crafting recipes and upgrades.

  • Crafting & Fabrication: Use the Fabricator to craft gear, tools, building materials, oxygen supplies, and advanced energy components. Discover new recipes as you find new materials.

  • Base Building: Construct shelters, defensive walls, lighting systems, and reinforced structures to protect yourself from alien attacks and environmental hazards.

  • Survival Management: Monitor oxygen, temperature, radiation, and health. Rest to recover, maintain your suit, and stay ahead of the moon’s harsh conditions.

  • Combat: Fight four distinct alien enemy types using the Space Ray and other tools. Enemies pursue, swarm, and attack from range, requiring mobility and awareness to survive.

  • Exploration: Traverse procedurally generated lunar terrain including craters, ice fields, basalt formations, ore veins, and anomaly zones. Each world is unique.

Progression

As you gather resources and survive longer, you unlock stronger materials, better gear, improved defenses, and more efficient crafting options. Your base expands, your capabilities grow, and your chances of surviving the next night increase.

Replayability

Every world is procedurally generated, offering new terrain layouts, resource placements, and enemy encounters. Experiment with different building strategies, exploration routes, and crafting priorities.
