Our take on Moonlit
Players who want layered systems may bounce at the old-school arcade structure, where movement through scenarios and fights with enemies form the central loop. The full-moon curse adds the main narrative thread, while weapon drops provide combat variation.
What is Moonlit?
Moonlit is a retro arcade-style action-adventure game about a mysterious girl facing a curse triggered by the full moon.
