Indie developer Upstairs Games has unveiled an updated trailer for its upcoming simulation game, Possible One: Lunar Industries. The trailer showcases improvements in the realistic lunar colonization experience, with a demo still planned for April 2026. Players will manage resource extraction and colony survival on the Moon amid harsh environmental challenges.
Upstairs Games, an indie developer and publisher, has released a new trailer for Possible One: Lunar Industries, a game in development for several years. The project focuses on building and operating a lunar colony using real-world technologies to extract resources and ensure profitability. The latest trailer highlights advancements in gameplay systems, emphasizing the challenges of creating a self-sustaining outpost on the Moon.
In the game, players excavate valuable resources and precious metals through demanding mining operations, processing them into products that fuel colony expansion. This involves designing and maintaining essential facilities such as housing, workplaces, laboratories, and manufacturing plants. As the colony grows, players unlock new technologies while grappling with survival threats including radiation exposure, low-gravity conditions, and the psychological toll of isolation.
Beyond physical dangers, the simulation requires balancing day-to-day operations with broader political and economic pressures from Earth, particularly as the colony's reputation influences space trade opportunities. Key features include realistic colony management, resource extraction and industry development, strategic planning for construction, and navigating survival challenges alongside economic growth.
The developers have shared limited updates on progress over the years, and this trailer provides a glimpse into the current build. A demo remains on track for release in April 2026, allowing players to experience the demanding lunar environment firsthand.
