Manage your oxygen levels and navigate a cosmic horror roguelite in a lunar colony. Confront nightmarish anomalies, survive unpredictable text-driven events, and endure the horrors waiting beneath the dark moon.
About this game
Sent on a lunar expedition to investigate a silent colony, your crew crashes on its surface. Guided only by the unsettling rumors of a discovered bio log, you are completely unprepared for the unspeakable horrors lurking beneath the surface of Eldread.
Now stranded, you must scavenge resources to repair your ship and uncover the dark fate of the colony that came before you. Explore a hostile world and survive deadly hazards, all while managing your dwindling oxygen levels.
Battle strange mutants and cosmic horrors with weapons you scavenge or purchase with limited cash. You can also harness the power of cosmic entities through a mysterious, mutagen called Corruption. But beware: the corruption will eventually consume you.
In my recent update, one of the new features is a conversation system where you can talk to your allies and gain special items or equipments.
The Game will feature:
-At least 10 playable characters.
-21 expeditions(different levels) within 7 regions.
-60+ enemy types
-100+ different events
-100+ items
-randomize end game boss
-randomize mutation ability set

Updated the Combat System and the in game Store.
I finally finished overhauling the combat system so now its a 2 move per turn instead of one. The store also now lists all the items in its inventory and no longer has any oxygen requirement.I also adjusted the numbers of some of the negative outcomes of events, hunt down and fix more grammar issues, fix some bugs, and added some new items. Hopefully now the combat feels more fun and runs more smoothly.Read full article on Community Announcements (peterjlin644)AnnouncementsOfficial

Planned overhall on the combat system.
i got a good number of feedback on the game's current combat mechanics and decide it needs an overhaul. So, instead of a one move per turn combat system, You can use up to two moves instead. The tactical ability(the row next to the shield symbol) will always move first. Using an item will take up a slot, and the 2 abilities within the black box over the 2 will take up 2 slots so you are only able to use one move if you choose those abilities.I am still working on this update, it has not been added into the last build yet.On other things, I plan to adjust some of the difficulty of the random events.Read full article on Community Announcements (peterjlin644)Patch NotesOfficial
