| Summary | A daring lunar expedition spirals into chaos when a state-of-the-art spacecraft crashes onto the moon’s desolate surface. Led by renowned scientists Dr. Keiden and Dr. Tsukino, the crew—including two adventurous schoolboys—awakens to a shattered vessel and a lifeless world devoid of air, sound, or familiar physics. Struggling with injuries and malfunctioning equipment, they discover eerie anomalies: an ancient air-filled cavern, cryptic carvings on a monument bearing their own names, and relics hinting at a lost lunar civilization. As tensions rise, Dr. Keiden vanishes mysteriously, leaving the team to navigate treacherous terrain where gravity defies logic and leaps from cliffs feel like floating. Battling dwindling supplies, they race to repair their ship while unearthing unsettling clues about the moon’s past. But with time running out and the line between discovery and danger blurring, survival hinges on unraveling the secrets hidden in the silent, stone-studded wastes—and confronting whether their mission was ever truly under their control. |
