🌙 MOONFALL CHRONICLES

Every thousand years, the Moon begins to fall.

A thousand years have passed since the mysterious Eclipse shattered the Moon and plunged the world into an age of war.

Now, the Eclipse threatens to return.

After a strange dream brings you face-to-face with the mysterious Lunara, you leave your quiet home and journey toward the capital of Asteria in search of answers.

But something is already changing.

Monsters are becoming more dangerous. Spirits are growing restless. Old secrets are beginning to surface.

And somewhere across the world are seven individuals known as the Starbound.

Choose your class, gather your companions and uncover the truth behind the Eclipse before the final piece of the Moon falls.

⚔️ A CLASSIC JRPG ADVENTURE

Moonfall Chronicles is a story-driven fantasy RPG inspired by the classic JRPGs of the 90s, with turn-based combat, exploration, character relationships and a large world that will continue to expand throughout development.

🎮 CURRENT VERSION: ALPHA V0.3

Moonfall Chronicles is currently in active development.

Version 0.3 contains the opening portion of the adventure, taking you from the beginning of the story through the recruitment of the first three major companions.

The current build includes:

• Four playable protagonist classes • Turn-based combat and character skills • Equipment and character progression • Multiple explorable areas • Story quests and optional encounters • Boss battles • Lyra, Mio and Reina as recruitable party members • The beginning of the Starbound and Eclipse storyline • Early relationship and gallery systems

More regions, characters, quests, bosses, relationship content and story chapters will be added as development continues.

Feedback is very welcome. If you encounter a bug, balance problem or something that simply doesn't feel right, please leave a comment. I'm still learning and player feedback will help shape future versions of the game.

Version 0.3.1 adds

• Fixed several map collision issues where the player could move through or interact incorrectly with parts of the environment.
• Further balanced combat, making some adjustments to improve the overall battle experience.
• Fixed Lyra's starting setup. Lyra was incorrectly joining the party with all of her FireKnight skills already unlocked. She will now learn her skills at the intended levels.
• Added Equipment Details. Weapons and armour now display a much more complete breakdown of their effects when viewed, including stats beyond just Attack and Defense, such as:
  • Max HP & Max MP
  • Magic Attack & Magic Defense
  • Agility & Luck
  • Critical Rate & Evasion
  • Other special equipment traits

This should make it much easier to tell what a piece of equipment actually does before committing your hard-earned coin to a fancy hat. 🎩

🔞 CONTENT WARNING

Moonfall Chronicles is intended for players aged 18 and over and contains strong language, violence and sexual themes.

It also contains British spelling, for which no cure has yet been discovered.

The game also contains occasional references and Easter eggs inspired by anime and manga I enjoy, including series such as Bleach, Berserk and KonoSuba.

🤖 AI DISCLOSURE

AI-assisted tools have been used during development, primarily to assist with artwork for the Gallery and Romance systems and with development of the custom Romance and Gallery functionality.

The characters, world, story, game design and overall project are my own work.

I want to be transparent about where these tools have been used while I continue improving my own development, coding and artistic skills.

❤️ THANK YOU FOR PLAYING

Moonfall Chronicles is my first game and is a project I intend to continue improving and expanding.

If you decide to give the current alpha a try, thank you.

Whether you enjoyed something, found something frustrating, discovered a bug or simply have an idea you'd like to share, I'd love to hear what you thought.

The Moon is already beginning to crack.

Will you discover the truth before the final piece falls?
