Here&#8217;s the full rundown from the official PR:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>One night, under the silvery light of a full moon, a young boy is suddenly sucked through his TV and into a videogame \u2014 a classic JRPG called \u201cMoon World\u201d. Following closely behind the game\u2019s brave hero, the boy begins his own journey to recover the world\u2019s missing moonlight by collecting \u201cLove\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>As Moon World\u2019s hero loots and levels up by cutting down monsters for experience points \u2014 you know, as heroes do \u2014 the boy releases their souls and collects their \u201cLove\u201d. Moon is not a game where you fight to level up \u2014 your own progress comes by gathering lost \u201cLove\u201d!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>As you explore the world, you\u2019ll meet a crazy cast of weird and wonderful NPCs. Observe their strange habits and daily routines by visiting them at different times and days of the week, and learn their secrets to uncover even more lost \u201cLove\u201d!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Moon<\/em> is a game about turning those [RPG] tropes upside down, and seeing what really happens behind the scenes of your favorite RPG videogames.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Will you be reliving this cult-classic when it arrives next month? <em>Leave a comment down below.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] Tokyo-based developer Onion Games &#8211; which previously worked on games like Little King&#8217;s Story, Chibi-Robo! and even Super Mario RPG &#8211; has announced its cult-classic &#8216;anti-RPG&#8217; Moon will be released on the Switch eShop (here in the west) next month on 27th August for $18.99 \/ \u20ac15.99 \/ \u00a314.49.
