Moon is a really special game. I could talk all day about the flaws of this game, how some of the puzzles are extremely cryptic and how there’s several points in the game where I have no idea how you’d progress without either incredibly luckily stumbling across the right answer or using a guide, the overall sluggish pace of the gameplay etc., etc.

But’s not enough to stop me from really loving this game. For one if you’re a fan of the MOTHER series’s quirky writing I’d really recommend this, because the overall weird but charming nature of this game is one of its biggest strengths. I really love the gameplay loop of finding love to increase the amount of time you can stay awake so you can find more love. Even though a lot of my time playing this game was just spent figuring what to do, to the point where I had to use a guide multiple times, I really loved the experience of immersing myself into the game, learning more about the world and it’s inhabitants. If there’s one thing this game did, it’s make me feel really comfy. I’m giving this 4 stars now, but it’s a game I can tell I’ll love more and more each time I play it. I could see this becoming one of my favorite games in the future. As much as I’d like everyone to play this game it’s not a game for everyone, but it’s certainly a game for me. Thank you Onion Games.
