The game
Our protagonist finds himself in a supernatural forest after nearly dying in a car accident and losing both his parents. Dazed and confused, the boy stumbles upon a few tools that will help him on his journey: A pocket watch with the ability to tell the time of day. A lantern that lights his path and alerts him to supernatural happenings nearby. A journal to guide him and help him discover the many mysterious creatures that live there. A kalimba (musical instrument) with the power to control the weather and more.
During the boy’s journey into the unknown, he will discover ominous caves, abandoned lumber mills, mysterious temples, alien languages, enigmatic creatures, arcane spirits and countless mysteries. Sneak through puzzles and explore the supernatural world to find the true meaning behind its existence and ultimately uncover the boy’s fate.
tips
Watch your lantern carefully. When you approach a creature, collectible, or mystery, the lantern will glimmer and a soft chime will be heard.
Don’t trust anything your eyes can see. Use your camera and viewfinder to figure out what’s real and more importantly, what’s not.
The clues to discovering the many creatures in the game are in the journal. Read each entry carefully to decipher all the clues.
Some discoveries are only possible at certain times of the day and/or in certain weather conditions. Experiment to learn more.
The forest may be more alive than you think and can even work against you.
Moonrise Autumn uses a unique music system. It creates multiple layers of music and blends seamlessly to ensure no two playthroughs are the same, creating a dreamy, alive feel to the forest and its denizens. The music mixed with the subtle and detailed soundscapes creates an immersive feeling that pulls you closer and gets lost in it.
It was my great pleasure to create this world and share it with you. I hope you find Moonrise Fall worth falling for. Play it today on Xbox.
