We always thought that we were alone in the universe. But when in 2021 a signal is received from the dark side of the Moon, everything we accepted as norm is put under question. Lead a team of four hand-picked United Nations specialists as they unravel the deep, black secrets of the first decades of human space exploration.

ZARYA-1 is an interactive fiction (IF) game that takes place on the far side of the Moon. You are tasked with supervising a team of four specialists in an effort to locate and explore the source of a mysterious signal. Your decisions will matter — but the consequences aren’t always clear, and sometimes disaster will happen. Every choice you make will give you a slightly different perspective on the events that will unfold — and with it, another grain of the truth. Will you be able to piece together the whole story?

And even when everything ends — will you be sure you know exactly what happened?
