Cinder Lake Games
We make games about the real history of spaceflight: the rockets, the launch pads and the people who flew them, rebuilt so you can fly them yourself.
The studio
Cinder Lake is named after a field of craters near Flagstaff, Arizona. In 1967 the U.S. Geological Survey blasted it into the shape of the Apollo 11 landing site, so the astronauts could practise walking on the Moon before they went. We like games that do the same thing: put you in the real place, with the real hardware, and let you learn it by doing.
