Weird small game with not much in the way of spooks. I think it's just trying to be cute, and while it flops on a lot of the puzzle design, the artstyle isn't bad.

Short and slow jump that doesn't go anywhere. You pick up dice and cards to create platforms to jump onto. You can't even jump the full height of a die, you have to pull yourself up onto it. You shine your flashlight onto big shadow enemies that go away for a short time then come right back. The keyboard controls are terrible with little to no movement on WASD and you barely turn when pointing with the mouse. Gamepad controls seem better for this, but they are missing a command: crouch! I had to press Ctrl on the keyboard while using a gamepad to play. Also there are no gamepad button prompts or controls menu (there is a controls menu but it only shows the keyboard controls, not any of the gamepad controls). The game is only in English, but they don't seem to know English when they say dice for singular and dices for plural. Ugh.

Moonlight is a small survival crafting game that I found surprisingly appealing because of how much it tries to do with its alien setting. I play as someone whose ship has crashed on a strange planet, leaving me completely alone and trying to figure out how to survive. I really liked the feeling of being dropped into an unfamiliar world where I have to learn what is safe, what is useful and what can potentially kill me. The survival gameplay is built around gathering resources, finding food, growing crops and creating the equipment I need to stay alive. Building a home also gives the experience a nice sense of progression, because I am not just surviving from one moment to the next. I am gradually turning an alien environment into somewhere that feels more like my own little base. Underground exploration, mining and crafting machines add more things to work toward as I become established. I particularly like how the planet itself changes over time. Seasons affect the environment, crops grow and disease can spread, so I cannot completely rely on doing the same thing forever. The procedural world also encourages exploration because different areas can offer different resources and …
