• Version 1.3 | Controller Support, Settings Menu, Steam Deck Compatability - 13 June 2026

  It's been a while.There Was the Moon came out in 2020, and I've left it largely untouched since. But I've been listening to what players have said, and that turned into an update. It's now live. What's in 1.3The headline addition is full controller support, including Steam Deck compatibility, part of an ongoing effort toward Steam Deck certification. Beyond that, a few things that have been on my list: The ability to run (hold shift, or left trigger on your controller) A settings menu with look sensitivity controls Various bug fixes The price is changingA recurring theme in reviews has been that $9.99 felt a little high for the length of the experience. That feedback is fair. There Was the Moon is now $4.99. A thank youIf you've already played, thank you. It means something that you spent time with something I made. I hope the update makes a revisit worth your while. Ben

• Version 1.2 Released - 2 August 2020

  Hey everyone, Version 1.2 is out! I appreciate all of the feedback via reviews and on Discord. In this update I tried to address the 'Keeper' puzzle being too vague as well as various smaller issues. Version 1.2: Added a visual cue to help players call the Keeper within the Apparatus. Added a twinkling audio cue to help players find the conduits. Added toggle to disable mouse smoothing. Fixed various typos in game text. Fixed various visual hiccups. Fixed various clipping and collision issues. In a future update I will be addressing some of the performance issues a few of you have reported. If you haven't already, please consider leaving a review! This helps others discover this strange game about the moon. Cheers, Ben
