Getsumen no Anubis

The game was at at least 35% completion by late October 1995 and was published along with a similar game from Imagineer, Zakuro no Aji. Famicom Tsūshin found the game did not give enough options for the players to move the story in different directions and compared it with Zakuro no Aji. The Japanese book Perfect Guide to Nostalgic Super Famicom (2016) included it on their list of the best horror games for the Super Famicom, finding it to be a lesser known but good horror sound novel.

Anubis of the Moon's Surface is a sound novel. Mark Kretzschmar and Sara Raffel, authors of The History and Allure of Interactive Visual Novels (2023), described the term used to primarily define Japanese games that rely on graphics and sounds instead of puzzles to tell a story and was more generally interchangeable with visual novels. The game is progressed by pressing the buttons on the controller. In the game, the story changes on the action-oriented choices, but also on your choice of the emotional response to certain situations. For example, if the player chooses an aggressive choice, the next choices will follow suit and be more aggressive and assertive.

Anubis of the Moon's Surface has a science fiction setting of a lunar base on the moon. The game is set in the future, where the protagonist Keisuke is a researcher along with his female companion travels to the base via a space ship. Aboard the craft, he is involved in an accident which makes him wake up with no memory. The game has over 20 different endings.
