In this austerely beautiful moonbase management game, "your only choices will be impossible ones"

30 days to support a fragile sisterhood alive

If you imagination of playing a crippled acceptable wrong a diagram of a spacebase from a Usborne Cutaway publication published successful the 1990s, Kuu is astir apt for you. If you imagination of being precise bittersweet connected the Moon, tending sickly plants for 30 days by Earthlight, past Kuu is also, probably, for you. If you enjoyed Citizen Sleeper but privation it was arsenic depressing as, say, Anoxia Station, Kuu is besides also, probably, for you.

It's a agleam and bony colony absorption crippled successful which you play the titular Kuu, a "silent caretaker" for a "fragile sisterhood", trapped successful a lunar greenhouse that has been trashed by a "mysterious blast" from a "long-abandoned Earth". You volition disagreement each time betwixt specified tasks arsenic mounting up the star panels (at the outgo of blocking the airy to your growpods), scouring the vigor spectrum for help, and combing downloaded documents for answers astir your plight. Here beryllium trailer.

Being a soundless caretaker, you volition lone beryllium capable to motion oregon shingle your caput erstwhile your sisters travel to you with questions oregon requests. "Some volition starve, and immoderate volition snap," the Steam leafage comments. "It volition beryllium your fault." Good-O. Each night, you'll discontinue to a hibernation pod and prime done a monograph near down by a "disgraced pseudo-archaeologist". If it were me, I'd beryllium binging Toradora excerpts and tearfully devouring a precise ample vessel of cereal, but I ideate Kuu doesn't person entree to Youtube.

Kuu is the enactment of the possibly humourously named Interactive Tragedy, Limited, founded by New Zealand world Zach Dodson. It's the video crippled constituent of a hybrid publication task which seeks to "combine accepted people plan and originative penning with caller approaches successful interactive fabrication and ocular narrative".

While I find immoderate of the Steam leafage connection a small excessively pointed successful its poignancy, I similar the cut(away) of Kuu's gib. I besides similar the dependable of Dodson's probe successful general, arsenic concisely outlined successful this Steam station connected however "the affordances of antithetic media tin make a communicative ecosystem", which reminds maine a spot of Whitney Trettien's enactment connected volvelles.
