Our take on Moondrop
The farming premise may suggest a stable homestead, but the central loop repeatedly removes the mountain farm and sends resources back to Oncewas. Progress depends on rebuilding the village and applying discoveries to another attempt.
What is Moondrop?
Moondrop combines farming, exploration, crafting, alchemy, and roguelite progression on a mountain whose layout changes between attempts.
Crops need suitable neighboring plants to flower, while unusual varieties can move, duplicate, or consume nearby crops. Trails contain seeds, perks, blueprints, puzzles, fishing, treasure, and secrets. When the vanishing mists arrive, return collected goods to Oncewas, an abandoned village. Rebuilding the village brings back residents such as blacksmiths and fortune tellers, who unlock upgrades and powers for later farms. Discoveries and earned seeds carry into new attempts as the farmer works toward the summit.
