About the game

What you do in a play session

If you thought surviving the void was hard, try fixing a synthetic friend from the inside! Unsettled: LUNA is the 12th planet box for the Unsettled series, and it shifts the focus from outer space exploration to a deeply personal-scale-repair mission. You'll find yourself diving into the damaged systems of a synthetic companion, attempting to mend her circuits and her very essence.

This isn'12th expansion brings a unique-feeling-to-the-table-experience through specialized movement mechanics and a programming line that dictates how you interact with LUNA's internal systems. It's not just about fixing hardware; it's an emotional quest where the damage might go deeper than just broken wires. You'll need to plan your moves carefully, as the programming-style interaction requires foresight to avoid catastrophic failures.

Expect a tight, high-stakes-feeling-gameplay loop that blends tactical movement with a narrative weight rarely seen in heavy sci-fi expansions. It's a heartfelt yet harrowing journey through a mechanical mind. If you're a fan of the Unsettled ecosystem, LUNA offers a refreshing, intimate twist on the survival-exploration-management loop. Just remember: space is hard, but robot CPR is even harder!
