MO awakens in an abandoned laboratory on an alien world, where hostile creatures and automated systems block its path. Following a mysterious voice, it travels through the facility in search of a way forward and clues to the catastrophe.
Move through side-scrolling levels by jumping, sticking to walls and ceilings, and using abilities such as dashing. Solve environmental puzzles, avoid lethal hazards, and confront bosses by dodging attacks and using the surroundings.
New movement abilities and level mechanics unfold as MO progresses. By attaching to enemies, MO can take them over and read their memories; scattered fragments and other records gradually reveal more of the world and its past.
Players often praise MO:Astray’s distinctive slime movement, varied platforming and puzzles, detailed pixel art, and unsettling atmosphere. Many also enjoy piecing together the story through enemy memories and collectibles, as well as the inventive boss encounters and soundtrack. Some reviews find the controls or precise platforming demanding, and mention that collecting memories or repeating puzzle sections can become tedious.
