## Description
Welcome aboard the Noguchi Masaki mining corporation's outpost on Titan, Saturn's dark moon! You're part of a crew on a deep-space expedition, but an 'incident' has left some members infected with an unknown virus, turning them paranoid, deceitful, and violent. The goal? Uninfected crew members must survive until rescue arrives, while the secretly infected try to sabotage everything and eliminate the 'good guys.' The catch? You know your allegiance, but everyone else is a potential enemy or ally. You'll be rolling dice to make repairs, overcome traumatic events, and perhaps quarantine suspicious crewmates. If you're infected, this is your chance to strike! Dark Moon is a game of social deduction and bluffing that keeps you on the edge of your seat, constantly questioning who to trust and who's plotting against you. With dice rolling, variable player powers, and a pervasive atmosphere of distrust, Dark Moon delivers tension and twists in every game. Prepare to question everything and everyone, because on Titan, the only thing colder than space is betrayal.
