On this moon, survival depends on teamwork...
but you can't trust anyone. While you fight alien monsters back-to-back, someone on your team is already plotting against you.
MoonMiners is a cooperative survival simulator that transports you to a bleak sci-fi future on the Moon. Imagine: you and your team manage to deliver the last box of ore when suddenly the power goes out, bugs crawl into the base, and someone blocks the airlock from the inside — and you realize that there is a traitor among you. You play as a team of space miners working for a ruthless megacorporation far from Earth. Doing your job here can be even harder than just surviving... and that's no exaggeration.
What awaits you? In MoonMiners, you are part of a mining crew tasked with meeting the corporate mining quota at all costs. Each game is a separate mission on a dangerous lunar base.
Restore the base, assign responsibilities, scan and analyze deposits, and follow strict corporate protocols for resource extraction. Process and deliver materials while facing increasing threats, from aggressive alien life forms to a hidden traitor with personal goals: sabotage, disorganization, or even murder.
Players load ore into crates, one quietly steals it and throws it into a crater — an example of a traitor's work, where the team works together to repair damaged infrastructure, extract the necessary resources, and ultimately try to fulfill the corporation's strict plan.
Basic mechanics. Restore base systems, assign roles, and scan the ground for valuable deposits. Follow strict protocols: extract and process ore, prepare cargo for shipment — all under constant pressure from external and internal threats. Predatory alien creatures are creeping in from all sides, and somewhere among you, a secret saboteur may be lurking with their own agenda — to sabotage or quietly eliminate their colleagues.
Unique features. The game throws up unpredictable situations that make each session special. Friendly fire is always on — your mistakes or chaotic shootouts can be just as dangerous as the monsters themselves. Use any equipment at the base, including lunar rovers, to move faster across the surface and transport your loot.
Ready to take on the treacherous Moon? Gather a team (or go solo), add MoonMiners to your wish list, and get ready to prove you can survive this shift to the end! Survive, meet your quota... or become the next name on the corporation's casualty list.
