How the story unfolds, stage by stage
Step
The game starts with the Moon heading toward Earth, causing mass casualties and widespread starvation. Things keep getting worse from there — Jupiter enters the picture, then Neptune, then the Sun itself begins to change. Knowing the order of events helps you understand where you are in the story and what is coming next.
- Moon approaches Earth billions die and millions face starvation; this is where your run begins.
- Gas Giant's Arrival Jupiter joins the threat, and the game signals more dangers are still hidden.
- Nuke the Moon a response to the lunar threat is attempted, though the crisis is not over.
- Nuke Jupiter's Moon the nuclear option is used again as the outer planets grow dangerous.
- The Moon's Crash and Neptune's Arrival the Moon finally strikes and a new planetary threat arrives, making clear the disaster is far from finished.
- Project Phobos, The Sun Wakes Up, Red Giant Sun the threat reaches the Sun itself, which begins expanding toward its explosive end.
What to do when progress stops
Tips
Because the game is story-driven, certain events must complete before the next stage opens. If you feel like nothing is moving, work through these checks in order.
- Open your quest or event log and confirm there is an active objective.
- If the objective is complete but the next stage has not triggered, close the game fully and relaunch it.
- Check your internet connection; a drop can cause events to stall without any obvious error message.
- If the problem persists, the community server (visible on the game page for accounts aged 13 and over) is a good place to ask — other players and the dev team can help diagnose it.

Common questions
FAQIs The Moon Wakes Up multiplayer?
It is a solo PvE game, so there is no co-op or competitive play. You progress through the story entirely on your own. The community server lets you chat with other players outside the game, but inside it you are alone.
Do I have to collect all nine badges to finish the game?
The badges map to the game's major story events — Moon Collision, Gas Giant's Arrival, Nuke The Moon, and so on through Red Giant Sun — so earning them in sequence means you are seeing everything the story offers.
What do I do if an event badge never unlocks?
First make sure the event that triggers it has fully played out on screen. If the cutscene or sequence finished but the badge did not appear, restart the game and return to that point. Reporting the issue in the official community server gets it in front of the development team quickly.
