Moonstone Island

A life sim and monster-taming RPG set on floating islands.

Last updated

Moonstone Island is a 2023 role-playing video game developed by Studio Supersoft and published by Raw Fury. It blends life simulation, monster-taming, and deck-building mechanics in a procedurally generated world of over 100 sky islands. The game follows a gender-neutral protagonist seeking to become a world-renowned alchemist, mediating between the human and spirit worlds.

Background

The game is set in a world where the legendary Old Kingdom, where humans and spirits once coexisted in harmony, was destroyed by a Cataclysm. This apocalyptic event opened interdimensional gates known as Rifts, allowing the corrupting force called The Creeping Dark to slowly spread across the land, draining all life in its path. The player must seal the Rift closest to Moonstone Island to halt this encroaching threat. The protagonist explores ancient dungeons and temples—the last surviving structures from before the Cataclysm—as part of their quest to become a world-renowned alchemist, a mediator who bridges the conflicted human and spirit worlds by teaching harmonious coexistence with nature.
