About Possible One: Lunar Industries
Possible One: Lunar Industries is a colony management simulation game set in a realistic space environment. Developed by Upstairs Games and released on March 31, 2026, it focuses on building and maintaining a self-sustaining lunar base using scientifically grounded technology. The game avoids fictional sci-fi elements, emphasizing logistics, resource allocation, and survival under real-world constraints. It’s a single-player strategy title with no multiplayer components, designed for PC via Microsoft Windows. The core appeal lies in balancing technical systems like power generation, oxygen production, and crew welfare while expanding operations.
Gameplay
The game revolves around managing a base module by module, with a top-down interface. Players allocate resources like energy, water, and oxygen while monitoring environmental hazards like radiation and temperature. Construction requires precise planning, as misplacing a solar panel or habitat block can bottleneck progress. Missions involve extracting materials, deploying rovers, and conducting experiments. The real-time strategy element emerges in managing crew tasks and troubleshooting system failures. Each session typically lasts 30, 60 minutes, with progress saved incrementally. Controls are keyboard/mouse heavy, prioritizing precision over action. The challenge stems from optimizing efficiency without overextending limited resources.
What Players Think
Critics rate it 87/100, with 82% of players rating it 5 stars on PlayPile. Community moods skew enthusiastic (78% positive), though 18% cite frustration over technical depth. Average playtime is 20, 25 hours, with a 68% completion rate. Reviewers praise the "authentic engineering challenges" and "no hand-holding design." One user wrote, "Finally a space sim that doesn’t dumb things down for the sake of fun." Achievement stats show 42% of players earn the full 1000 XP, with the "First Moonwalk" achievement unlocked by 93% within 4 hours. The game’s 47% discount during April 2026 sales spiked its player base by 300%.
PlayPile's Take
Possible One: Lunar Industries is a niche but rewarding pick for strategy fans who enjoy granular system management. At $39.99, it offers substantial depth for its price, though the learning curve may deter casual players. The 18-hour median playthrough suggests it’s more of a focused experience than an endless simulator. With 34 achievements tied to survival milestones, it incentivizes replayability for completionists. Best suited for those who appreciate real-world logistics over fictional flair. Skip if you prefer faster-paced or more forgiving systems.
