“Why is it OK that this hero is breaking into houses and stealing items from people’s drawers??”
“Why is it OK that this hero is killing thousands of innocent monsters??”
Moon is a game about turning those tropes upside down, and seeing what really happens behind the scenes of your favorite RPG videogames.
[THE STORY OF MOON ]
One night, under the silvery light of a full moon, a young boy is suddenly sucked through his TV and into a videogame — a classic JRPG called “Moon World”.
Following closely behind the game’s brave hero, the boy begins his own journey to recover the world’s missing moonlight by collecting “Love”.
As Moon World’s hero loots and levels up by cutting down monsters for experience points — you know, as heroes do — the boy releases their souls and collects their “Love”.
Moon is not a game where you’ll fight to level up — your own progress comes by gathering lost “Love”!
As you explore the world, you’ll meet a crazy cast of weird and wonderful NPCs. Observe their strange habits and daily routines by visiting them at different times and days of the week, and learn their secrets to uncover even more lost “Love”!
“Now… use your own power to open the door…”

i found out about moon from this guy on livejournal back in like, 2004 or 2003, we both had the mutual interest of shin megami tense 3. anyway, he had an ftp server with a bunch of music and he suggested this song from moon called ker-ma-go, so i listened to it, and i absolutely fucking hated every second of it. i still hate ker-ma-go. anyway, fortunately i had also randomly downloaded 226 46th Street which was wicked, as well as Warp Wet Woods and I’m Waiting for the Night (which i think sounds like something, but it’s been like 15 or 16 years and i still haven’t figured it out). i think that guy works for whatever company localizes the ys games.
