About the Game

Your ship has crashed. You’re alone. The alien world lives and breathes around you. The planet itself isn’t hostile - but the things that live here are. Can you find enough resources to survive and build a home here? And when the time comes, are you willing to leave it behind? 

Is home where you come from, or where you end up?

Moonlight is a survival crafting game set in a dynamic alien world that shifts around you. Seasons change. Crops grow. Disease spreads. If you want to make it out of here alive, you’ll need to learn by doing and adapt fast with the help of your friendly* corporate smartwatch, SAM. At first, you won’t be sure what you can eat or how to heal your injuries, but in time, you’ll find a way. 

Explore procedurally generated terrain across 10 different biomes, each with their own feel and conditions that affect your survival - and maybe even relics to discover. Build your homestead, grow food, make a life you can stand to live. Go underground, find minerals, smelt metals and make machines that aid your mission: to one day escape this planet and return to where you came from. Just remember that your actions have consequences. Befriend animals and slay monsters, or the other way around. Change the landscape, but be careful not to corrupt it in the process - or embrace the corruption, and make this place your domain. It’s up to you. Moonlight is your planet. It’s not like anyone has been here before. 

Right?
