Cross the Moon

Like vampire stories and cosmic mysteries? Looking for a linear visual novel with a compelling story, great characters, wonderful art, a unique aesthetic, and an incredible soundtrack? Then look no further. [b] Can't recommend this enough [/b] if you're looking for a great narrative experience. I found myself pausing the game at several points to just soak in the music and atmosphere that's on display. The soundtrack absolutely slaps, and the artwork is vibrant and gorgeous. I love the colour palette. The story had many twists and turns, and frequently veered into the unexpected. It was exciting from start to finish. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Cross the Moon is different from most VNs I've played. There's no choices, just some collectibles for additional lore, but I don't think that takes away from the experience. The art is on point? There's fantastic use of color in the backgrounds, and I'm glad I picked up the OST too. The story is well-paced, and I found it compelling, though it might not be to everyone's taste. I was also happy to see multiple queer characters in the cast. And the 3 main characters are all POC which is kinda unique for a VN. The protagonists are a teenage boy, his older sister who's just starting her career, (the siblings are vampires), and a police officer (who is human). They all intersect with the story and each other in interesting ways and, I don't really want to say too much more and spoil things. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2420079302 It's a really unique VN. Try the demo. If you like that, you will likely enjoy the full story.

[i]Cross the Moon[/i] is a kinetic, mystery visual novel developed and published by Patrick Rainville. You take on the role of three main characters: Lux Amanite (a high school teenager), Aurore Amanite (Lux's older sister who's just gotten a new job at a prestigious corporation), and Ryouko Otsuki (a police investigator from Japan who's on a partnership). The story takes place in the fictional country of Armorica, particularly in its capital, L'Amour. (Based on the names of other characters and such, there's some implied French influence.) In this world, vampires and humans co-exist. After a major event some years ago, certain people with a genetic predisposition suddenly transformed into vampires, and these vampires were ostracized for being different. Although some reparations have since been made, vampires continue to be discriminated among some people. After the murder of a lawyer makes headlines and Lux and his friends are suspected of being involved (as they were with the victim before he was murdered), events began to spiral, so the story takes on the perspectives of these three main characters, who all end up being connected. Since this is a kinetic novel, I'll sto…

This was an amazing experience from start to finish. Not only were the individual elements of music, art, writing, editing and directing, all individually great; the way they all came together really raised it to a new level. Definitely up there out of all VNs I've played. It's so cheap too, there's no way anyone should miss out on this deal.
