This game is so good! I loved the visual aesthetic and the story made me cry (in a good way). The whole concept of being the last person alive on the planet for years and years and then finally getting the chance to interact with someone...it really hit hard.
Just as a heads up, there are a few places in the script where it seems like the variable for Nox's pronouns isn't set up correctly--I picked she/her for Nox but sometimes the game would refer to Nox with "he" or "them" instead.
Teach me your writing speed ways! Your ability to keep spinning stories of this breadth and bring them together into a complete, polished experience in time remains absolutely bonkers. I absolutely mooned over (LOL) the UI, and it was neat seeing the addition of a minigame from you guys this time around, but every aspect had something to enjoy. Great work!
lovely entry with a lot of heart. you guys have come far in the last year!
This was so visually pleasing and well put together and omg the world building!! I doubted if I’d be able to read 25k today but I finished it all in one sitting, it was just that good! Wonderful pacing, great atmosphere with the music, just very solid overall! Great job once again, you guys never miss!
I got error screens on two occasions tho (once at line 2432-2445, once at line 2871 in the script), says there’s an attribute error >_<
TYSM for the kind words!! I'm so glad u enjoyed the game!!
Thanks for letting us know about the errors!! We're gonna be tackling those ASAP.
Honestly, I enjoy stories that feel like there's so much more hiding underneath what we're shown. There's some real nice worldbuilding work done here! Also I can't help but like Nox, I love that we get to choose which presentation we want for them. And there's a lot of detail here, a neat story, a bit of replayability... I can't believe you did this in 10 days lol
TYSM! I definitely wanted that vibe, there's a lot of story that we hope to add later that was 'buried' for the sake of spookiness and scope-- I'm glad it comes across that there's more to it!
The choosing Nox's presentation is one of my favorite features too, so glad you enjoyed :D
Titan Arum had remained my favorite game from you guys because I was obsessed with the vibes, but I think this is my new favorite. I loved the atmosphere, the story, the impending doom, the horror elements, literally everything. The item search mini game was also a lot of fun, although it genuinely stressed me out LOL Another great game from you guys!!
TY gamer!! So glad you enjoyed it as much as TA, we definitely wanted to get back into our more horrormance roots!
Under Your Moon is a visual feast, and very much a personal exemplar for the kinds of brilliant touches I would want to include in my own projects. Obvious examples include relighting scenes with the candles, altering the phase of the moon to indicate the passage of time, the pullover GUI menu, the blinking sprites, and the title cards for each act. All very, very good stuff.
thank you so much! our artists were truly cracked on this project!
Yet another hit! I was absolutely eating up the pervasive grief and numbing loneliness that the MC went through, and their interactions with Nox really made me buy their budding relationship! I'm not sure if anyone else has pointed this out, but I noticed that the script would have errors whenever a "blushsm" sprite was called. The minigames had me FREAKED but they've really gotten my brain juices reflowing on how to frame and use these in renpy!
Also have to admit, the lowest point ending I got was my favorite one...T3TTYSM! I'm so glad you enjoyed!
The lowest ending is my favorite too LMASLKSJF
Thanks for letting us know about the bug! We'll be fixing ASAP :D
There are so many aspects I loved about this game! Not only do I love the multiple choices for character design and mc name, but the timed search for items was so impressive from a coding perspective to me! This along with the beautiful aesthetic and story made it an interesting game for sure. What an interesting twist later in the story as well, and how it's handled. Thank you for the gaming experience!
Thanks so much gamer! We really appreciate it!
Hi everyone! We're aware of a bug that occurs at the very end of our game, where based on the end you get, it may try to cycle you through the different endings after you complete the game.
If you want to play for a different end without getting spoiled: if you see "the eclipse" card recur, simply exit the game or click through without reading to avoid spoilers.
We'll fix this bug after jam!
Thank you!
