Tales from the Dancing Moon is a mystery adventure game inspired by portal-fantasy novels and UK culture, with a mix of casual life-sim and RPG gameplay.

After the events of a shadow-beast invasion on the seaside town of Ïllisor, complete villager quests, live life with sandbox life-sim gameplay, and find collectable diaries to understand your role in this mysterious character-driven story.

From The Dancing Moon Inn to the Stoknel Swamp regions. Explore both hand-crafted and procedural zones with seasonal and weather effects, providing different moods to the game as time progresses.
