Living on the moon is lonely, and stressful, and exhausting. Video games have always offered you an escape to a better life. The easy, happy life you wish you had. Which makes it so frustrating when the game you've been playing ends badly. But you have a chance to figure it out, because the next tourist group is the designers. You can debate with them about art, inspire them with the beauty of outer space, get closer to any one specific designer in particular, and finally find out how to get the ending you always wanted.

The Pinnacle of Choose Your Own Adventure

The most meta and emotionally touching choose your own adventure game yet. I hope for much more from this extremely talented author!
Amazing game

This game is great, but there isn’t much replay value. For the route I took, the dialogue during the climax is the same for every character. I don’t think every character would realistically act that way and it kind of lessens the impact their personality made earlier in the game. So basically the only route that stuck with me was my first play through because of that. Besides from that I loved the customization of the MC and that you could really decide if you wanted be professional with the tourists or let them in on your opinions. Creatures such as we left a big impact on me.
If you are a reader especially...

This game is amazing. I don’t write reviews often, but it was definitely one of the coolest games I’ve ever played. The time and care obviously put into this interactive story is astounding. And the over all story? Oh my goodness! That was original and touching and beautiful and frustrating and disappointing and perfect and sad, I could go on and on. But check it out, I would be surprised if you left the game disappointed (unless you just don’t like the text based story thing I guess).
Amazing!!

I loved this story so much.(Almost made me cry) I couldn’t stop playing it! It’s so beautifully made. I LOVED all the characters. The whole story and experience made my heart warm and for the first time in a while I’ve genuinely felt worried and happy. This is a definite 20/10. This experience will always stay with me and never will be forgotten.
Beautifully deep and heart wrenching

This game is in my top 3 favorite Choice of Games. The conversations you have with the characters and the philosophical conundrums are just wonderful and perfectly implemented in the story so as not to feel weird or out of place. The characters, specifically ones that you choose to romance, are so great. They offer real discussions about real topics as well as offering plenty of opportunities to feel like a hero. It will make you happy. Finally, the message this game sends is simply wonderful and thought provoking. I won’t spoil it so you’ll have to see it for yourself. Love the game with all my heart.
Eh...

The writing wasn't the best. At times, the vocabulary is almost childish, and this ruins the mood of the game. Also the way some characters talk and act seems immature. I do appreciate its inclusivity in terms of providing several gender and race options, although selecting a race doesn't seem to have any significance in the game. Overall, I'm not quite sure why there are so many enthusiastic reviews claiming that this game was "life changing" when it is, at best, mediocre. And finally, its attempt at incorporating philosophy into the storyline feels awkward and forced.
Amazing
