TBH I really can't complain about this game. What an awesome story that really does hit close to home. "Deliver Us The Moon" and "Stray" really hits you in the feels.
Well, if you follow the notes, where is the fun in that? And I think the dev purposely did this to throw some sense of irony or crappy humor in this game
I like the fact that Sarah lived but disappointed with the ending, kinda anticipated this 'died for the greater good' since Fortuna release. The ASE drone bot is the best thing ever. P.S. Remember the death-defying route Rolf took to get the tower. How the hell did Isaac carry Sarah thru all of that? Probably the elevator I guess. And the cryo-chamber is a Deux Ex Machina. You could actually tell the ending was rushed. For a Kickstarter game, this game was awesome in some ways. Edit: I was totally invested with the Outward project. But only thru the recordings. Really wanna know what happened to those that left the Moon. Sequel-Prequel? Spin-off? 🤔
i get the feeling we will never get it. i just want all those bastards to die honestly. just a stray meteor and boom they all landed on the sun. The game was too short and contrived, also the stupidity of the people on the moonbase DESPITE geniuses....Like their common sense left at the sound of OUTWARD. Perfection in a shuttle! Well ....wait no i want them to land...and wonder HOW they will get their utopia up and running...then the slow and horrific realization ....they can't. Then they slowly die...hopefully one killing McArthur upon realization he doomed them. And not just kill him but you get to see his mangled body in some crevasse. The blood his gore and the sudden horror on his face that he was falling to his death, the poignant BEAUTY of his poetic death...that he had fallen from grace from humanity, therefore taking the literal fall.
@@Zarryon12 You cant start a new population with that many people anyway. So they would go extinct eventually although we dont know what other technologies they have of course.
EXACTLY. My wife was watching me play the game and as soon as the station tore itself apart.. I said, yeah. They are dying on this moon. She didnt believe me xD
I have some questions, see if you can answer: 1.Was Edgar crazy when he blamed Laverde for the HyugensMalfunction or she really had something to do with it?2.Where was Arthur going to during Outward?Did he want to go to another planet? 3. Did Kathy die? I'd really appreciate some answers. Thank you for your time.
@@rob_olmstead As far as I can tell, the game gives no indication what happened to Outward. I unlocked all the scannable information, thinking that when I got them all, it would unlock a transition indicating the fate of Outward, but it was just a cryptic message Issac sent to McArthur, after he put Sarah in the cryochamber. But it really did nothing to give closure to the story. I loved the game overall, but I feel cheated by them leaving such a major part of the story unanswered.
For the whole game I mistrusted the robot and believed that there was some AI skynet shit going on because she played around with the software and "feelings" of the drones. Realizing that it was a much bigger threat, humans, I was very sorry for the robot in the last scene lol
@@Sarikasriv3085 rolf was the partner of the Sarah. They were both sent to investigate what was going on with the MPT. He also probably had feelings for her.
Rolf and Sarah went to investigate initially but ran out of time - Rolf made it back to the elevator (and Earth it seems) but Sarah stayed behind to see if she could get it all up and running again - she meets up with Isaac and we know how that went, whereas Rolf worked with Claire on Earth to return like 5 years later.
God the music in this game hits the spot. I played it with headphones, and although it is not so noticeable in the video, when Rolf fades away, his heartbeats are heard decaying due to radiation until they stop, the music stops and the cinematic closes, god that scene destroyed me, more knowing that he was able to save Sarah as she saved him before as the collectible audios tell
My guess is they probably added some light to it so it would be visible whenever a transmission was being sent. Like how we artificially add scent to natural gas because normally it’d be odourless. The REAL question is how the entire thing can even work if the moon and earth are always moving.
Guys, everything is bullshit in this game. Like, the moment you step in a base you have earth like gravity but the second you're in EVA it becomes somewhat lunar like gravity. Let's enjoy this stupid game for what it is. A somewhat nicely told story about hope, choices and Dead Space without the gore. 5.5 out of 10.
Can someone help me understand the plot a bit? From what I understand, the folks on the moon were faced with a choice due to a parts malfunction at Tombough: risk their lives to repair the big energy laser and maybe even travel to Earth, or use what little time they had left to abandon everything and take a chance on finding a better planet. They chose number two. But what confuses me is at some point an audio log makes it sound like there *isn't* actually an issue at Tombough, and MacArthur is just staging the whole scenario as an excuse to kickstart a space colonization mission that damns Earth. Can someone clarify/expand on this? Also, *BIG SPOILERS* why did Sarah seal off the big tube thing just to prevent Isaac from having it? She was already doomed at this point, and she couldn't have predicted Rolf's arrival years later, so was this action purely to spite Isaac and preserve the tube just on the off-chance someone showed up later to use it for its rightful purpose of helping Earth?
MacArthur had been squirreling away helium for quite some time. He had written off earth, and manufactured a "problem" to "evacuate" the lunar colonists - there was nothing wrong with the equipment. This was actually just a way to launch them all to new planets unfound it seems. (That last bit I'm inferring). When he finally evacuated the colonists, he took all the helium he could get his hands on, leaving none left for the reactor powering the earth power beam thing. Without the helium the reactor couldn't sustain itself and began to break down - that's what Sarah and Isaac worked on to stop happening. They succeeded, but now needed helium to start the reactor back up. Isaac secretly wanted to find the helium to power the third vessel that MacArthur didn't launch - as his daughter Kathy was on it, including her life support system. Sarah knew they needed that helium to start the reactor back up and give Earth a chance - Isaac freaked out and went stabby stabby. It's not explicitly stated, but yes, I think that Sarah sealed it off for that exact reason - someone would find it one day and use it to start the reactor again. She wanted to save earth, and that chance mattered more than the off-chance Isaac could prolong his daughters life. So she did the one thing she could do before she "died".
Also, Issac discovered that the energy they were producing for Earth wouldn't be enough and that they were just prolonging Earth's demise rather than preventing it which is why he helped MacArthur in the first place.
@@vysrath That's something I think the devs got wrong in the second game. In the first one you get the sense he really didn't think the earth could make it, but in the second game it made it seem like he hated earth and thought that it would be better to go to mars. They kind of made Isaac a villain which to me was a bit of a disappointment.
Sarah correctly gussed that Isaac was a dumbass who couldn't figure out how to open a back door and position the Helium correctly before powering up the treadmill...
That mini game at the end is completel bullshit. Mine does a little differently though. He completely blacks out for a few seconds and it jerks the reticle way off. Just not enough time and the constant decrease when you aren't on it, just makes it not fun. I enjoyed the rest of this game with maybe the exception of the killer robot maze. Took several tried to figure out the path.
It took me 6 plus Tries to align the stupid satellite to only get this crap ending, I don't feel satisfied when I've completed harder games than this 😤😤
Not a bad game at all, I much prefer the dramatic sequences, running out of oxygen etc to the puzzle side of it but it was a cool astronaut experience!
It's because before the game was "released" there used to be a pre-release version where it would end before you made it to the Tombough facility iirc. It wasn't finished then.
So we can’t live and have a different ending ? Kinda stupid since in the recording it was said we must align the dish before powering up the reactor ... feel kinda rushed.
Secret backstory : Rolf and co. built the "space laser" on the moon to blow up all the nuclear plants on Earth so they could control demand a ransom of "10 MILLION dollars!!!"
What happened to Isaac? His daughter who will wake up from cryo sleep to a place where she is the only survivor on a moon colony with a droid that is gonna serve a simple process and then what? The ending was crap tbh
A partial spoiler: Deliver us Mars, the very beggining, tells us what happened. He woke up Katie, attempted to depart with her from the Moon with the 3rd Arc that was left behind. But her sister Claire managed to arrive on the moon (as shown on the ending) and snatched her sister back and their father departed anyways to god knows where. Taking into account the name of the sequel, he very likely went to Mars.
@@Sarikasriv3085 Earth had a huge energy crisis. They found out about Helium 3 on the Moon as a great solution for the energy crisis. They built construction and drilling sites to salvage this resource and Isaac developed a way to remotely send this energy, the MPT. The head chief of the whole moon base (McArthur) had different plans in mind, you find some information that tells that even if the MPT worked with 100% of efficience, it wouldn't be sustainable for everyone on Earth, McArthur knew this and so he set his secret plan on the works and stole as much as possible of Helium 3 as fuel to depart out of the Moon and leave Earth behind to find somewhere else better to live with the Arcs and bringing as much of people as possible that were on the Moon base. Sarah stayed behind to attempt to fix the MPT after this crazy plan and Isaac did same but he was conflicted so he attempted to follow with the plan anyways and take Katie to the 3rd Arc that was left behind with sick people and leave all else behind. In a fit of sudden madness, he stabbed Sarah, took her to his personal criopod and that's where our character, Rolf dies at the ending. What Isaac done after this is the very first thing we do at the sequel, Deliver us Mars, and since this doesn't seen much of a spoiler, read my comment above at this thread.
TBH I really can't complain about this game. What an awesome story that really does hit close to home. "Deliver Us The Moon" and "Stray" really hits you in the feels.
FRRRR BRO
The notes you read tell you not to start the reactor until you align the dish but the story seems to not let you do it in the correct order...
Well, if you follow the notes, where is the fun in that?
And I think the dev purposely did this to throw some sense of irony or crappy humor in this game
It’s pretty funny to start the reactor then see the notes. It’s just like an “aww really?” Moment

Watch the final cutscene listening to Interstellar soundtrack S.T.A.Y 😭. Fun game just finished it today.
Dont know why but I got some serious lost in space vibes from this game
yea idk either 🤔
Finished it in one sitting before getting removed from game pass
Lucky I was so close to finishing
Though I finished the game in a day I still was sad when the character died.
For the whole game I mistrusted the robot and believed that there was some AI skynet shit going on because she played around with the software and "feelings" of the drones. Realizing that it was a much bigger threat, humans, I was very sorry for the robot in the last scene lol
This death hit me too hard
I had no idea I was playing as Rolf! Up until the end I thought I was playing as Claire lol
Who was rolf though.... I mean I've finished everything but just can't get my hands on the plot 😭

Anyone want to tell this man that microwaves aren't on the visible spectrum? Good game, though. 8.5/10

Why true ending I thought there was only one...??
There is only one.
I got a different one. No idea why
There is only 1 but there are 2 credits. If you sit through the 1st one, Claire will reach the the cryo chamber and find Rolf.
Such an underrated game!

No it's not, this is a cliffhanger and a story mess imo
@@HUYI1How is the story a mess? I found it nicely put together.
i dont know where the cliffhanger in this game is ? the whole point it was to restore the power for earth and the guy managed it in the end @@HUYI1
Did they fly to Mars or something when they left the moon?
So we can’t live and have a different ending ?
Kinda stupid since in the recording it was said we must align the dish before powering up the reactor ... feel kinda rushed.

yet another interactive movie shit
i know right! i wanted to have him live so badly :(((
What happened to nuclear reactors on earth in this timeline?
It is said in the intro cinematic that all of earth's supplies were used, so they had to use Helium 3, sending energy from moon to earth.
Secret backstory : Rolf and co. built the "space laser" on the moon to blow up all the nuclear plants on Earth so they could control demand a ransom of "10 MILLION dollars!!!"
played it with the Xbox Game pass and it decided to crash right at the final cut scene and I hunted this down to watch it XD
The joystick control at the end is very annoying, but otherwise it has a nice ending.
Is this an alternative ending then? I got the exact same one
I think it's because before the game was released, the prerelease version finished as you boarded the train to Tombaugh.

How do you keep the stick in target I'm having trouble

Flipped this today and this some bs i die on the moon next to Nora Freeze 🥶

Just finished the game. And this ending.... Reminded me why Dragon quest still better than Final Fantasy these days.
bruh all resources on earth was used up what about the air thou or the ocean water, surely they can make use of those?
They can discover energy on moon but couldn't work out hydrogen based energy is unreal
This game felt RUSHED AF.

Ending was a crash course of a mess, I'm not satisfied!
What the hell. What kind of ending is that. Not cool lol. Now I wanna know what happened the Onward or Outward whatever it was called.
Story had potential at the beginning, but faded drastically, ending is shit
