The funding campaign for Keoken Interactive’s Deliver Us The Moon is well underway and has made a fast start that puts it in a very good position to hit its funding goal.

The game, described on the Kickstarter page as an “episodic story-driven adventure and survival experience,” has so far raised over $70,000 of its funding goal, which is roughly $110,000. There are 25 days of the campaign left at the time of writing.

We are told that it is set in a near-future world where the Earth has been almost fully depleted of resources, leaving humanity in dire straits. After numerous attempts to salvage the situation through research conducted on the moon proved fruitless for various reasons – one of them being mankind’s legendary ability to squabble – there is only one option left.

With man’s absolute last resources, you, a brave astronaut gone rogue, take the great step to the moon in a do-or-die secret mission to save humanity.

Your only companion in the vast expanses of Outer Space is a small robot called ASE.

Together, you will traverse the moon, explore abandoned facilities and perhaps even uncover some secrets and hidden agendas with the information you gather. Only by working together will you be able to stand a chance in succeeding on delivering the moon!

Among the features of the game will be the ability to play from either a first or third person perspective and the chance to shape your own game, leading to an ending that you have been directly involved in defining. Despite the fact that you are by and large alone in the universe, there are many obstacles to look out for, and survival against both environmental hazards and depleting oxygen reserves that you must carefully manage will be difficult. Not to worry though, because you’ll have a jetpack. Who needs oxygen?

The developers seek to release the first episode on PC and Xbox One in August 2016 and have already been greenlit by Steam. If they surpass their funding goal they hope to bring the game to virtual reality platforms and will look in to adding new missions and features if they raise over $200,000.
