7 itemsAbout the Game
Forge the Moon is a quiet incremental game about a monk gathering spirit energy and shaping it into living tools.
Drag two items together and hold to fuse them. Recipes turn raw shards into bells, hammers, lanterns, kites, flutes, paper planes, threads of silk, an anvil that auto-forges nearby pairs, a teapot that pulses on its own - each one a passive effect that changes how the world plays. Items don't sit in an inventory: they float around the monk and interact with everything else you've crafted. A paper plane flies and energizes orbs it passes. Threads link to other threads and double the energy of orbs that cross the line. Bells ring when struck. The screen slowly fills with the system you've built.
There is no skill tree. Progress comes entirely from what you craft, and from the way crafted items combine into denser, more elaborate setups - until you've built enough to Forge the Moon.
