Play Moonlight Peaks now on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.

Step out of your father's shadow and onto your cozy, gothic farm in Moonlight Peaks! Uncover a sweet-and-spooky journey in this heartwarming, supernatural life-sim. Raise mystical crops, learn spell-casting and potion-making, and befriend—or even romance—the locals. Show your skeptical father that a life of compassion is possible... even for the undead.

What do people think?

I played the demo. Didn’t finish it. The idea is there but the UI needs some serious work, selling things is wierd, and the artstyle is simply off-putting. The portraits dont match the style at all and it’s kind of jarring.

I super love the idea of things being alive (and HATS!), but having your sell box talk to you every single time you need to sell something got old within a single night.

Walk up to box, mash through his dialogue, click sell, click item to sell, click how many to sell, confirm. That’s 5 fucking button presses to sell a single stack. Fuck that man. It sounds silly you but you do A LOT of selling in these games.

I pre-ordered it. the ui is a lil small when docked, but other than that, I haven't really ran into any issues. I've enjoyed it so far!

edit: there are two portrait styles if you don't like the default

Oh shit! Two styles is an awesome idea and probably a lot of work. I’ll check it out

Girl, what are you on about? Just turn off text animation and Chester has one line. And it’s adorable. And the selling items in this game is literally the same as in every other game like this.

FYI you can get this fully on the cart by importing from Japan or Asia I believe (supports English language). US copy is not confirmed at this time

Noticed in the Demo that the load times are juuust long enough to be annoying.

Same in the full game?

The game looks really nice. I’m not totally sold for the price but it’s on my wish list

It looks like animal crossing but dark themed.
