Description

Only a group of teenagers, with a difficult life, will reveal what has been hidden for generations...

Synopsis:

This is the story of Moth Lake,
a small town that, behind its peaceful facade, hides a terrible secret.
Only a group of teenagers, with a difficult life, will reveal what has been hidden for generations.

Mysterious events will intensify starting from the eve of a solar eclipse,
and our young friends will start a journey into the shadow and into their own soul.

What to expect from this game:
In short:
•2.5D pixel art (Frame to frame animations, as if we are still in '90s)
• Simple controls (Supporting touch screen, mouse, keyboard and controllers)
• Unconventional puzzles (Don't worry, there's a free walkthrough if you need help!)
• Stealth-action
• Choices that will change the bonds between the characters as well as the spirit of the experience (Just like in life, a choice can make the difference between friendship, love, hate, life or death)
• Thrills, suspense and horror (Not a survival game, but it can be creepy or scary at times)
• Bad humor and strong language (They are teenagers, don't judge them)
• At some point this experience might even move you to tear (I'm not crying, I just got a pixel in my eye)
• 6 different endings
• A soundtrack that is original, suggestive, and exciting

In detail:

Moth Lake is a story-driven experience, with a lot of textual contents (more than 20k words), and hundreds of different scenes (more than 300 scenarios).

The script is a long journey through a mystery, through horrors and through the characters hearts.
It contains dark topics and very sad stuff, but also a lot of nonsense jokes and weird conversations, so it's hard to say whether it is a horror game or not.

The main characters move around a 2.5D world, interacting with many hotspots and NPCs.
They can pull objects and perform a set of specific actions to solve very different puzzles.

The artwork is a modern pixel art, with a big colour palette and a lot of frame-to-frame animations.
There's a very large set of animations, including talking, walking, running, crouching, crawling, pushing, climbing, sneaking, punching, throwing... and much more.

Scenarios have some modern lighting/shading work, with particles effects and a constant use of parallax, to simulate a 3D environment.

There are 6 main characters and more than 50 NPCs, with their own look and personality. You can control 7 characters through the main story and more in the additional chapters.
They all move their eyes, they change facial expressions, and they have some peculiar behaviours.

As the story proceeds, the player has to take some choices, affecting the characters mood and sometimes even the plot.



For most of the time the player controls a character surrounded by his/her friends.
Each one has some kind of skill to be used at the right moment, and sometimes even their personality will be important to solve a puzzle.

Some puzzles can be solved by a single character, while other must be solved using the whole squad cooperation.

As I said, the game aims to give psychological horror vibes.
So keep in mind that this game is not for everyone! Some scenes are disturbing, some scenes may give you anxiety, and some other scenes are extremely sad.

Characters are constantly called to face their difficult past, and to go through their scary present.
They need to hide, to take terrible decisions and sometimes even to fight for their lives.

...But after all, your choices can lead you to the best possible ending, and if you fail, you can always try again.

Great game

Really long so incredibly generous amount of game for your money, excellent story and characters, made me laugh a few times, especially love Scraper, good puzzles but a lot of time spent avoiding monsters and time based, luckily there are good walkthroughs out there as you don’t get much time to solve a puzzle before your killed ….again 🤣 unfortunately I didn’t save my energy drinks for Toby so I can’t kill the end monster, so it feels a bit unfinished but the rest of the game was fabulous! Well worth the money! 💰

Best game I ever played

Oh wow absolutely amazing, don’t hesitate to purchase this, the first part is a little scary but after that the game really opens up, it has so much depth the characters, the story line, each kid in the group has there own past and together they face their fears it’s just amazing.
Did I say amazing already ?!? lol

Meh

Controls are awkward and clumsy. Not for me, Health based platform, gave up after the young child in-game was scared to death.

Hi,
to move around you can use the whole screen as virtual pad (or any kind of physical controller)
Then you have buttons to interact with objects, to use the inventory and other minor features described in the tutorial.

The characters health is not crucial to progress in this game, but having characters with a good mood and health will help you in reaching the best ending.

I'm sorry you dislike the scary emotions provided by this game.
I strongly suggest everyone to read the whole description before engaging this adventure.
You may also want to check out the walkthrought videos on Youtube, to understand if this is your cup of tea.

I'm a solo dev, and my game is not perfect for sure, but I care about providing the best possible experience. So feel free to ask a refund if you regret your purchase.
