With an eerie “The Twilight Zone” vibe and surreal cosmic elements, Stage 2 Studios and Serenity Forge’s sci-fi video game called “Lifeless Moon” has arrived and we’ve got the odd launch trailer to share that highlights its immersive old-school storyline.
It’s appears to be a trippy 3D action adventure release designed with platform stages that combine logic and puzzle-solving skills, where a pair of Apollo-era astronauts encounter a strangely familiar desert town during a dream-like expedition to the Moon.
“Lifeless Moon” and its blurred realities was just launched July 9, 2024 for Xbox One/X/S, PlayStation 4 and 5, Epic Games Store, and Steam.

Here’s the official synopsis:
“What secrets will be unearthed on the moon?
“You cannot fathom what will come next in ‘Lifeless Moon’. Reality itself unravels as the mysteries unfold, adding chaos to an already monumental mission. After stumbling upon a town on the moon that is eerily similar to one back on Earth, you are thrown into the middle of a much larger conspiracy. Venture through strange environments as you collect clues and decipher puzzles. The town is only the beginning of an unforgettable adventure across time and space.
“A sandy boardwalk, a cabin in the woods, and an ominous floating city in the sky are just a few of the peculiar stops along the way. Your surroundings may appear familiar, but nothing is as it seems. Reveal the truth behind these unique locations through environmental puzzle-solving and platforming. Gather documents and information in your journal during your lunar travels and piece together the origin of the many strange phenomena you encounter.

“Lifeless Moon” acts as sort of a spiritual successor to Serenity Forge’s “Lifeless Planet” from 2014, and its “Lost”-style narrative design was influenced by classic science fiction literature and films where lunar explorers face inexplicable anomalies in time and space. It’s also a throwback to TV series like “The Outer Limits,” which often depicted astronauts or test pilots facing disorienting situations, psychological experiments, and dangerous discoveries while on routine missions.
Serenity Forge’s “Lifeless Moon” is available now on your favorite gaming platform.
