The village of Rynoka has seen better days. North of the five gates to labyrinths known as the "Dungeons", it was once a hotspot for people of all kinds, but none shone brighter than two groups; heroes, and merchants. However, a long series of incidents has caused the Dungeons to be closed for the safety of the townspeople, and Rynoka has died with them. People have packed up and left, and almost all the stores are gone, with the exception of what was once the most successful, the Moonlight.Moonlight's shopkeeper, a young man named Will, dreams of becoming a hero like the ones who used to flock to Rynoka, and, with the guidance of his mentor Zenon, ventures into the Dungeons by night, and by day sells the treasure he finds in Moonlight. It's up to Will to resurrect his dying town, venture the dungeons, and find the key to unlock the fifth gate, which has never been entered.Moonlighter is an RPG in which gameplay alternates between selling items to NPCs and a top-down dungeon crawler, both possessing an intermission time where you can upgrade the town, your store, and your equipment. It was successfully funded on Kickstarter, earning a whopping $134,276 out of its $40,000 goal. The game was released on May 29th, 2018, for PC, Xbox One, and PS4, with a Nintendo Switch port released in November 5th of the same year. An expansion pack, Between Dimensions, was released on July 23rd, 2019.

All There in the Manual
 Moonlighter (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: In-Universe version. While there are a few tricky elements to dungeon diving, they are all very simple, and most of them receive explanations in Pete's logs in later dungeons. Sparkling indicates that the Bottomless Pit in a room is actually safe to fall into, and will lead to a hidden area. One of Pete's logs explains this, but not until players reach the Forest Dungeon - the only other way to figure this out is to take a Leap of Faith. The open stone chests located in some hidden areas are always empty. This is because they are designed to teleport anything placed in them directly back to the player's storage chests back in town. Unless players experiment, they will not figure this out until they read one of Pete's logs in the Desert Dungeon.

Power-Up Letdown
 Moonlighter (Video Game) / int_18683fc2
comment
Power Up Letdown: The shop assistant that comes with the third shop upgrade may sound useful, but she fails in almost every area - while she can run the store so that you can explore the dungeons and still make sales, she does not restock the shelves and does not gain tip bonuses (which, in the late game, can almost double your profits). When working the store yourself, she attempts to stop thieves herself, but moves at about half the speed you can move, which can sometimes lead to a thief escaping.

Gone Horribly Right

comment
Gone Horribly Right: The backstory behind most of the cultures in the dungeons, and the Guards within - which all appear to have been created as means to protect the cultures from danger, only to go haywire and dominate everything leaving only ruins behind. This is especially true of the Forest Dungeon, where a civilization cultivated a means of enhancing plant growth to avoid a famine, only to create an unstoppable growth that took over the world. In fact, the ending twist reveals that the Forest culture is the only true example of this - as the others, which appear to be ruins, only seem that way because the pirates' technology only takes empty locations to steal from.

Denial of Diagonal Attack
 Moonlighter (Video Game) / int_4c96aa00
comment
Denial of Diagonal Attack: Will can only attack in the four cardinal directions, making for some difficult tactical situations when facing enemies that do the same. Some weapons are able to circumvent this to an extent; the Greatsword's primary and secondary attacks have a 180- and 360-degree area of effect, respectively, and the Bow's secondary attack homes in on distant enemies.

Foreshadowing
 Moonlighter (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1

Foreshadowing: Quite a bit, if you pay attention to Pete's notes and the notes by the healing springs. In his journals Pete points out that the dungeons seem built for adventurers to explore and collect loot in, but that the hostile Guards don't match up with that purpose. Meanwhile, each of the seemingly dead cultures in their notes are shown becoming more and more agitated at what seems to be disappearances of property once their back is turned, resulting in them creating Guards. The game sets this up as implying that's what led to them no longer being around, but the truth is that the cultures are still alive and well, that the reason the dungeons seemed made for looting is because they are, and the Guards exist because pirates were using the technology you've been using to explore to steal whole areas that they then pilfer but cannot detect artificial life.

comment
Double-Meaning Title: "Moonlighter" refers to Will being the owner of the Moonlight, but "moonlighter" is also slang for someone doing criminal activities at night, which Will is technically also doing (seeing as the Dungeons are off limits). Made much more direct at the end of the game, when the Watchers reveal the "dungeons" were tools made by thieves and that they ought to arrest the entire planet for interdimensional looting; though their leader turns out to be a Reasonable Authority Figure and just lets them off by barring entry while they work up an interdimensional trade treaty as a replacement.

Chest Monster: Mimics are chest-shaped enemies that attack when you approach or damage them.

Five-Finger Discount: Some of the people browsing your wares aren't interested in paying for them. Fortunately for you, they usually have speech bubbles over their heads declaring their purpose when you enter your shop.

Shout-Out
 Moonlighter (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: When Zenon gives Will a sword, he paraphrases the "It's dangerous to go alone!" line said by the old man who gives Link his sword in The Legend of Zelda. The shout-out continues in the Switch version, as Will can craft the Hero's Sword (which looks similar to the Master Sword and Hylian Shield) and the Hero's Bow, and a grey-haired Link randomly appears as one of the store customers. The achievement for beating the game in under 10 hours is "Gotta Go Fast." Two of the customers that come into the store are Lulu and Auron. One of the final tiers of Gloves is called the Star Platinum Gloves.

It Can Think: The results of genetically modifying the harvest in the Forest Dungeon were genetically sentient (and aggressively territorial) plant life that would see the end of the community that lived there.

An Entrepreneur Is You: From managing the shelved stock and setting prices and gauging customer reactions a fair amount of work can be put in to make your shop successful.

Hoist by His Own Petard: The Dimensional Pirates hid themselves behind the 5th Door to lay low from the Watchers, only to be trapped inside and turned on each other as they started starving.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Moonlighter (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: When you defeat an enemy or boss, any attacks they generated are rendered harmless the moment they're defeated - before their death animation starts - even if the attack is still visible and currently hitting you. As such, it is usually impossible to be defeated after a victory unless one is in a really awkward position.

Reasonable Authority Figure
 Moonlighter (Video Game) / int_dca70c44
comment
Made much more direct at the end of the game, when the Watchers reveal the "dungeons" were tools made by thieves and that they ought to arrest the entire planet for interdimensional looting; though their leader turns out to be a Reasonable Authority Figure and just lets them off by barring entry while they work up an interdimensional trade treaty as a replacement.

Fission Mailed: The tutorial ends with you being overwhelmed by an impossible number of enemies equipped only with a broom. This sets up the mechanic of losing your loot upon death.

Equipment-Based Progression: You don't gain experience or levels from killing enemies or selling items in your shop. The only way to get more powerful is by having Andrei The Blacksmith craft weapons and armor for you and (ideally) having Eris the Enchanter upgrade them for you with Empowering Crystals.
