Current Events > So Moon is out on the Switch today.

(+) Yeah! (+)

JP only RPG that came out in 1997, kind of an "anti-RPG" and Undertale borrowed from it the idea of "loving" monsters instead of killing them.

Finally released in English today.

Been looking for something to play on my Switch. I think I'll give this a shot.

Mistook TT as To the Moon, and was confused.

This looks interesting.

Hey, wanted to report back to this topic. Just purchased it this afternoon. Not a fan of buying digital games on consoles, but I said screw it. This looks really cool.

I just got off work and got to work tomorrow as well. Looking to play it on Sunday though.

The game is super cool so far. It's crazy to think of all the games that must have drawn inspiration from it.

There is this whole mechanic about saving monsters who have been killed. Putting their spirits back in their bodies. Whenever you catch a spirit the words "Catch" pop up in fun colorful font. This is almost exactly like the ones used in the ARG Petscop. It kind of shocked me at first. Like whoa, this is where it came from.

The game runs on a clock system and everything happens in real time. NPCs have a routine and in order to accomplish your goals, you will need to keep up with them. Only thing I dislike about this is eventually your character runs out of stamina and will fall over dead. Game over, boot back to the title screen. You know when you are going to fall asleep because it's indicated on the time bar. However, I've died multiple times just steps away from the bed, which resets your stamina and changes it to the next day. The game doesn't save unless you sleep either, so any progress you made is lost. It's not super annoying, but any sort of time limit on a exploration game will come with a bit of pain as you feel out the system. People that like Majora's Mask should love this game.

Right now, I highly recommend it. It's whole concept is super cool. If you like weird games with loads of style, you will love this.

I'm guessing the game isn't super long going by the world map, but it seems like there is a lot to do in the space. Returning to earlier areas has revealed new events to do already.

Thank you! I'll give it a try!
