The Uncovered Moon (Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
During the 1950s and 1960s the Soviet space program used dogs for sub-orbital and orbital space flights to determine whether human spaceflight was feasible. In this period, the Soviet Union launched missions with passenger slots for at least 57 dogs. The number of dogs in space is smaller, as some dogs flew more than once. Most survived; the few that died were lost mostly through technical failures, according to the parameters of the test.
On 19 August 1960 Belka & Strelka were launched to spend a day in space and get back to the Earth.
This game tells you an alternative look at that historical moment. What if they were sent not to the open space, but to the moon, as a secret operation of becoming the first nation to conquer the Moon.
A catastrophe happens and a ship with dogs crashes on the surface of the moon. You play as Belka, and you have to somehow get in touch with the planet to save yourself and Strelka.
Will you be able to get back home?...
