History

Carlos Fernando Garcia, nicknamed el Diablo Bigotudo or simply el Bigotudo (“The Moustached”), a former Intelligence Service agent, and today a seasoned serviceman, is an ordinary city dweller who often spent evenings in a local bar, listening to the chatter of visitors, abusing drinks.

This evening was the same as yesterday, after staying up late and getting pretty drunk, Carlos, getting ready to go out, heard a strange speech from the bartender that Moon is a spaceship! In fact, Moustached today heard incredible conversations in the crowd of guests, that the moon was covered by an alien ship, or that the moon was it, but he did not pay much attention to it. Muttering something towards the waiter, Carlos moved towards the door exiting the bar…

That’s all he remembered. The first thing I felt was an unbearable headache. You couldn’t get so drunk. Slowly opening his eyes and looking around, he noted that the room was quite humid and completely different from the motel room in which he lived. The dim panel illuminated a small windowless room with one massive staircase. Most of all, the room resembled a storage room. Thoughts were confused in my head, fear and coldness on my skin were driven by an approaching sound, more like the patter of steps…

In the game, you need to find a way home, or just survive, maybe even without returning… Yes, this can happen, there are several endings in the game, depending on the quality of the passage of the main plot, what it will ultimately be depends on you.

It’s time to figure it all out and apply your skills!

Very nice game. The graphics, mechanics and lots of stuff to do.

Is there a way to have the menu music in-game? It always adds so much to games, especially the exploration ones.

And, after purchase, the game doesn't show in My purchase games at ZXOnline and over here on Itch, It seems not possible to download it again. Is there a way to fix this?

On Itch try in the upper right, next to your account icon: menu EXPLORE: "My library"... it should list all your purchased games with a Download button.
