There's a recent (2022) game called Ixion with an exploding moon premise. I initially saw it promo'd during a Steam sale, didn't buy it based on some very critical reviews regarding gameplay, and then forgot about it until seeing it mentioned in the 1d6chan Grimdark article.

I spoiled as much as I could short of playing the game, and then skipped through a full play-through on Youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvPyoPRgrFQ is a good synopsis (full game spoilers). The main writer did an AMA on Reddit with some questions answered, but also made it clear that some things were simply unfinished, or just left up to interpretation.

The game may be flawed, but at least the worldbuilding is on-point. https://x.com/shenanigansen/status/1615876096674926597

Ehhh, is definitely not everyone's vibe, but I've very enjoyed my two playthroughs.
