Welcome to "Moonlight Cradle," a coming-of-age story about identity, lies, and secrets under the moonlight.
You will play as a parent raising a half-vampire girl who is disguised as a human noble, sent to study at a church academy. While learning magic and etiquette and making friends, you must keep her vampiric heritage a secret and navigate the conflicts between light and darkness to shape her future. You will delicately balance between humans and shadow-born beings while uncovering an ancient conspiracy concerning the so-called "gods." Your choices will determine the continent's future: will she become a Saint of the Holy Light, a Queen of the Night, or a Twilight Messenger exposing the truth of the gods? Choose wisely.
"Shh… don’t let the church discover your fangs."
You were once part of the ancient vampire house Nocturne. Now, for your daughter’s sake, you raise her as a "fallen human noble," allowing her entrance into the sacred yet perilous Holy Light Academy. The decline of your family and her mixed-blood heritage make every step precarious. Although the academy appears to be an ivory tower for aristocratic youth, in reality it is the church’s training ground for key figures, a surveillance outpost against shadow-born beings, and the location of the "Dark Moon Tragedy" that tore the peace apart many years ago.
Here, your daughter must:
- Strive to "be human": Learn etiquette and theology, participate in celebrations, and use her disguise to cover her pale skin and fangs.
- Nurture her bloodline in secret: Practice shadow magic, explore the forbidden forest on rainy nights, and interact with mysterious shadow-born forces.
- Uncover the lies of the gods: The three gods worshiped on the continent are not as holy as they appear, and each seems to harbor a secret. Their truth is closely linked to your family’s fate.
Her school life will intertwine with warm friendships, sweet romances, and deadly crises. Everyone you trust—including the overprotective brother—may have a side hidden from you. Will you embrace the light, fall into darkness, or forge your own thorny path to reveal the truth?
The moonlight will witness your choices.
