moon: Remix RPG Adventure

what on earth did i just play

I might trigger some fans here, but I found it to be super confusing and jank with an unintuitive bad interface. I love Onion Games and this game is supposed to be groundbreakingly significant and different for its time (Undertale for one was partly inspired by this I believe), but I couldn't get into this. There's a lot of story (okay good) and then you walk around and try some things. Suddenly you're dead and you have to restart. Hardly anything is ever explained, but supposedly you have to get back to bed after some arbitrary invisible time or action limit? Any progress you made is then lost, too, because you just have to reload your last save. This feels like the game repeatedly resets your progress in ways that feel arbitrary, turning exploration into repetition instead of discovery. I mean it's a game from 1997, I think the re-release could have really benefitted from some QoL updates.

A game packed to the brim with beautiful visuals, nostalgic feeling music and charming dialogue sprinkled with meaningful texts along side it. If you're a fan of how Toby Fox writes for his games give this one a go since the writting of Moon is it's strongest trait.

A beautiful work of art that pushed the medium in a new direction. I can see it's influences in many other things like Undertale/Deltarune and maybe Petscop too. One of the most unique games I've played. It's full of charm. It is not for everyone however, it is easy to get stuck and you have to spend a lot of time wandering around to figure things out. You have to be patient for a lot of it like when playing Majora's Mask, and there's a lot of annoying parts too. But imo it's worth it, I had a lot of fun playing through it with one of my closest friends. I think this game is beautiful.

Favorite game I’ve played in a long time. Would call it a masterpiece if some of the 100% requirements weren’t so overly tedious but beyond that I have very little to complain about. Walking around exploring in this game listening to the moon discs is such an amazing atmosphere that I haven’t really experienced much like.

great game, definitely a must play if you are a deltarune fan it feels like a game that an indie dev would make nowadays as a meta criticism of video games, except it was made way before any of that kind of discussion hit the cultural zeitgeist so it is waaaayyyy ahead of it's time i really liked how this was sort of like a mixed media game where all of the "enemies" were claymation and everything else was pixel art, the music is also really good and being able to have your own mixtape to listen to while waiting around for stuff to happen was really nice, overall great game and can definitely see how it was an inspiration for other games
