Moon Chronicles: Episode 1

About

Moon Chronicles: Episode 1 is a mystery thriller that drops you on a desolate lunar base to investigate strange occurrences. You navigate tight corridors and dusty labs collecting clues while piecing together a story of betrayal and survival. The 3DS’s dual screens split your view between the environment and a map, adding tension to every turn. Puzzle solving leans on logic and environmental interaction rather than combat, keeping the focus on figuring out the base’s hidden past. The game’s strength lies in its atmosphere and pacing. The moon’s isolation feels suffocating with creaking metal and distant radio static amplifying every decision. Renegade Kid’s reputation for tight design shines here, though the short runtime and occasionally clunky controls may leave some wanting more. Still 8.2/10 on Metacritic suggests it’s a solid entry for fans of narrative-driven adventures with a sci-fi twist.
