✦ AI summary
The Falconers: Moonlight is a well-crafted short visual novel praised for its compelling mystery story, beautiful art, music, and strong writing that keeps the pacing tight and engaging. Players consistently note the game's brevity as a limitation, wishing it was longer to allow deeper exploration of the world and characters, while some mention that player choices feel inconsequential and the story moves quickly enough that the ending could have used more development.
I enjoy supernatural games that don't involve ghosts. This VN delivered a good read that kept me interested to the very end.
Enjoyable mystery thriller with horror elements. Runs about 3+ hours and contains more CGs than I was expecting. Definitely a good time.
This is much better than it looks. It keeps getting better. It's a great story. You should buy it any price! 11/10 especially with high quality art, sprites, music, dialogue, excitement, tension, and animated scenes! It's gorgeous!!!!
Excellent short fantasy visual novel. I really enjoyed this one. The art and writing are very good and I liked the characters. It was nicely creepy in places. The treatment of colonialism could've been a bit more complex -- it feels more like set-dressing, but the action is well written and the plot moves at a good pace. The short length is a bit disappointing, and this is also one of those games where the choices have minimal impact.
When i visited the store page of the game, what i saw was a lead Female protagonist with revolvers as her side arm and a mystery/horror story set in colonial New Zealand and these two reasons were more than enough for me, to click on the "Add to Cart" button. Game is short and can be completed in one gaming session. Dialogues and illustrations are excellent and music complements the eeriness of the story line. I just hoped that the game was, a bit longer.
The Falconers: Moonlight is an exciting story about a rural New Zealand town that recently suffered the tragic death of nearly all employees of its local mine. The story follows the proactive Cassie Winters, a novice monster hunter, as she investigates the cause of the recent accident. Every scene in The Falconers has a purpose—I never felt like the story was meandering—but in a way, it almost feels like the story moves a bit too fast. I think the ending could have been stronger if we even got just one more scene to learn more about the residents of the town. Still, The Falconers is an entertaining story through and through, and my hesitancy towards rating it higher comes not from anything bad about its presentation, but rather that there's nothing exceptional about it—it's simply good. 7/10
