On A Distant Moon
You're a long way from home and you've run out of fuel. There's a research station on a nearby moon--perhaps you can find help there? Things couldn't possibly get worse!

Explore a strange lunar environment, solve puzzles, and fight off hostile lunar creatures in this modern indie title created in ZZT, Epic's classic ASCII game creation system.
- Classic non-linear ZZT gameplay, with a blend of action and puzzle-solving
- Quirky and touching original story
- Over six minutes of original PC speaker music and full-screen ASCII animation
