Astro Production is a video production company that, in June 2026, announced the establishment of an indie game brand called ASTRA. ASTRA plans to develop experience-based action adventure games that emphasize story immersion, emotional music, and integrated visual direction, with titles launching primarily on Steam and aimed at audiences in Japan and Asia.
In July 2026, Astro Production announced MoonHack as the first title under ASTRA. The game is an emotional cyber noir adventure with rhythm action elements, set in 2125 in a society where emotions, love, and creativity are managed by AI. Players follow Tsukuyomi Kaguya, an illegal old-style AI girl, and other characters branded as criminals for their humanity, as they rebel by rewriting the world's rules through song. MoonHack is scheduled for release on PC via Steam in 2027. The character design is by illustrator Noyu, the music is produced by Ukiyone, and the scenario is written by Shin Kedo, known for the Corpse Party series. Ariyo Hanami voices Tsukuyomi Kaguya, and a teaser promotional video featuring the song 'DANCE ALL NIGHT' was released with the announcement. The game was previously teased under the working title 'Humanity Optimization Plan Eden Protocol - Order of 2125' before an in-universe hack of its official X account led to the MoonHack reveal.
Two months later, in September 2026, Astro Production was recruiting compositors for amusement machine development at offices in Kita-Ueno, Tokyo, and Yodogawa-ku, Osaka. The company says it welcomes candidates with practical experience in the amusement machine industry and as compositors, and is considering hiring broadly. Listings also cover 2D CG designers in both cities and a production progression planner in Tokyo. Annual holidays are 129 days and overtime runs about 10 to 20 hours per month. The hiring covers compositing and planning roles in two cities, pointing to active production demand in the amusement machine sector rather than a single project hire.
