Our take on Settlemoon
Its defining structure is a sidescrolling town that keeps developing in real time while the game is closed, turning progress into a series of periodic check-ins rather than constant management.
What is Settlemoon?
Settlemoon is an idle town-building game set in a fantasy world where the moon has disappeared.
Players develop a small sidescrolling settlement, beginning with an inn and expanding it to attract adventurers of different levels and classes. The town operates in real time and can continue while the game is closed. Its activities include acquiring materials, selling goods, posting quests, and shaping the local economy. Hundreds of decorations, colors, and flooring pieces allow the town's appearance and layout to be changed. Visitors have individual appearances, can return under chosen names, and can inspire the player's avatar style. There are no fail states, while unusual visitors and bosses contribute to the world's mystery.
