Score: 4.5/5

Verdict:

Making good use of its modest presentation, Moonrise Fall is an enchantingly bittersweet and beautiful game filled with intrigue and environmental obstacles to overcome. While you won’t get answers to all of your questions by the end, it’s still well worth investigating this surreal mystery.

Review:

The debut outing from indie game studio Made From Strings looks like a retro-styled RPG, so I really didn’t know what to expect from Moonrise Fall going in. It turns out that not only is it very much an adventure game after all, it’s an unusual and highly compelling mystery that starts with a car crash, two dead parents, and a surviving but unconscious small boy. The story only gets deeper and more intriguing from there. The gameplay picks up in the aftermath of the accident. Awaking alone in a dark and unfamiliar setting, you find yourself playing as the newly-orphaned boy. You soon stumble across a crow mask that when put on not only makes you look more like the E.T. alien than a human child, it also reveals that you’re in a strange forest. Able to see clearly now, you're able to begin your journey to discover a way out and hopefully find some answers along the way...

There are fewer games out there that celebrate Halloween and the Fall Season as much as Moonrise Fall.

To help celebrate that I'm introducing the Moonrise Fall Collector's Edition. Which includes the full game as well as the soundtrack. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34660493/ba31d3db7ab0ec6ce1155c3bbf1bec1ec2a37bec.png The hauntingly captivating soundtrack for Moonrise Fall has been Remastered and Extended. Now includes songs unused in the game. Song-list: 01 - Shatter 02 - Lunar Light 03 - Mines and Fields 04 - Into the Dark 05 - Skipping Stones 06 - Mystery Machine 07 - Wild Ride 08 - Start from the End 09 - Homecoming 10 - Shutter In the future I plan to release an Art Book DLC including concept art and behind-the-scenes info. The collector's edition will automatically include that future DLC. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34660493/7fcedff91ea5becc07ed38263e3530bde9431ff7.png Thanks & Enjoy the game, Chris / Made From Strings

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34660493/2db82563e82c5416b987deb85495bbe6cd3ed500.png Sometimes a game falls through the cracks. Not because of problems with the game, but the general nature of games journalism. Smaller games get pushed aside for the triple A titles full of coverage and clicks. This isn’t to demonize journo work, it’s hard to make a living in it. This is the context that brings me to Moonrise Fall, a game from solo developer Christopher Mathes. This is a title that didn’t get the coverage that other games had, and we had the key for a month. That feels very appropriate for a game about being lost, so let’s shed some light on this indie game. After a car crash kills his parents, a young boy finds himself alone in a mysterious forest. With a guidebook for the area, a lantern and a camera, his only option is to explore the woods. There are many interpretations you can make about why this kid is trapped here, but that’s not as vital to enjoying the game as you’d think. It’s less about a strict narrative and more about emotion. Negative emotions run deep, and while morbid content is never shown there is something dark about these woods. It’s beautiful in its sadness, and it soaks in those anxieties and fears. Yet, with that focus on more upsetting emotions, it’s cathartic. As if the game is telling you “Yes, let’s explore being sad. Nothing wrong with that”. Read the entire review HERE

Moonrise Fall - Worth falling for

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/34660493/e4b30913718e274a7ce628535e97cb2fb40d3977.gif Moonrise Fall opens with a dramatic and harrowing car crash. As an introduction it’s cryptic, but it’s clear that the victims were a kid and his parents. The boy survived, the parents didn’t. As haunting music plays, the boy appears to transcend – perhaps to heaven, perhaps into unconsciousness – eventually finding himself in a mysterious, dreamlike forest with nothing but a journal, lantern, camera, and one hell of a creepy mask. Like many things in Made From Strings’ brain-teasing puzzler, it’s all open to interpretation. The opener is straightforward, but it hits in the right places. Its emotional resonance – aided by a fantastically expressive score – sticks with you one throughout this odd spiritual journey. It raises a lot of questions, too. Who is the boy? Where or what is this forest? Did he survive the crash? There’s an engaging central mystery here, but one you’ll have to work to uncover. By work, of course, I mean photographing the forest’s weird and wonderful inhabitants. As you explore, your journal populates with encounters with odd creatures and unusual entities. Following along with these well-written riddles helps you snap familiar yet deeply unearthly beings. They’re rewarding to find and their unnatural shapes and varied designs make them exciting to reveal... Read full article here
