Artemis is an isolationist horror game set on the Moon. As the lone astronaut of Apollo 27—the first solo lunar mission—you're completely alone... or....

Your objective is simple: explore, collect samples, and report back to mission control. But when communications start failing and strange movements appear on your radar, the true nature of your mission becomes terrifyingly clear.

Survive the silence. Uncover the truth. And pray that you're really alone out here.

  • Playtime: 5-7 min
  • Development time: 16 hours

🚀 Features:

  • Retro-inspired visuals with eerie, desolate environments
  • A creeping sense of loneliness and paranoia
  • Atmospheric horror with no cheap jumpscares—just pure dread
  • A quick slow-burn mystery unfolding in the dead silence of space
  • Terror, not horror

Are you truly alone on the Moon? 🌑

This was a great short isolation horror my dude! Very spooky being on the moon all alone, nice graphics and soundscape! It was fun jumping around and driving the buggy around too, great job! What was that ending, it was so intense! Here is my gameplay video, your game is second in the video! I had fun and recommend completely! sub and help my channel grow everybody! :)

Thank you so much for the kind words! Subbed too! It means a lot that you enjoyed my game :)

It was really great! I love space horrors we need more! The cart was so fun driving around I was getting mad air lmao! Keep on creating my dude I'm following you so Ill play your next games! :D

Genuinely makes me so happy you enjoyed the moon car hhahah. Will do! I’ve got some fire game ideas in the works. It should give you more content. Make sure you play my next horror game then and I’ll maybe even slip in a personal easter egg for you ;)

You got it my dude! XD

Very short experience, but I like this.

How come you're playing the old version? The only version you can download is the 2.0 version with the moon buggy and a lot more polish. Did you download the game a long time ago?

I downloaded it 2 weeks ago.

Ohhh ok, thanks! Was just curious. Nice video! Appreciate you playing my game :)

(1 edit)

hmm, great idea! I wonder if there is any game that inspired you to make this one!

Wth! Your Mars game is eerily similar to Artemis. Even down to the post-processing…? When did you start development on your game? I actually did the entire movement, environment and the visuals late 2023 but gave up on the project before coming back and finishing it. So this is genuinely a crazy coincidence. Great minds, friend.

its is about great with space-horror :)

Great job on this game! I really enjoyed it!

Thanks! I'm pushing a small update in like 20 minutes where I'm adding a driveable lunar buggy and a bunch of QoL features. Sad you missed the new moon car hahah!

Thanks for all the nice compliments btw!!

Good game

Excellent game

Muchísimas gracias por compartir el juego, ya que siempre me han gustado los juegos que se desarrollan en la luna. Me han gustado mucho las conversaciones que hay por radio; parece como si estuvieras en una misión de verdad. También me ha gustado que hayas emulado la gravedad lunar, ya que das un salto y caes despacio, casi como una pluma. Me hubiera gustado que se hubieran visto las estrellas en el firmamento, pero es algo que tampoco tiene importancia para el desarrollo del juego. Has hecho un espléndido trabajo, por eso te he puesto 5 estrellas. Saludos!!!

Buen juego corto del espacio me gusto mucho 

Very atmospheric, decent and intriguing story, simple gameplay - all 3 packed in 1. 

I liked this. The game presented itself with an interesting plot. I was definitely rooting for the main character not to die and I do hope they survived. I would love to play maybe part 2 or even a prequel to this. Great job! 

Best of luck with the future games. 

Great horror vignette! I love cosmic and space horror!

NO COMMENTARY playthrough. Nice little PSX style horror game. Definitely more about the sense of isolation and the unknown then anything else.

Thank you so much! It was a really short project but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
