That s no planet: Lifeless Moon lands on Kickstarter

Lifeless Planet Premier Edition

Lifeless Moon

Lifeless Moon [official site], the follow-up to exploration game Lifeless Planet, has launched a crowdfunding campaign. Where the first game was set in the far future 15 light years from Earth, Lifeless Moon sees two astronauts stomping around our own moon, exploring a town that resembles one back on Earth.

The original saw you walk and jetpack around in a space suit in third person, jumping between platforms and progressing the linear story. Lifeless Moon will be similar except there’s a “deeper focus on puzzles”, many of which take place in first person. It’s looking for $17,000 ( 13k) on Kickstarter, the same as developers Stage 2 raised for the first game.
