Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I've been looking for an RPGMaker game with a cheesy story that would offer some enjoyable dungeon crawling in my library and Moonchild seemed like an appropriate candidate.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Moonchild is a cute game that hails from Aldorlea Games - a really promising RPGMaker based developer team - that will easily offer you 20 hours of gameplay.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Soundtrack is pretty, yet it becomes annoyingly repetitive after a while, so I strongly recommend muting the game and playing your own soundtrack in any of these 16 bit games - with some exceptions like ASM or FF series, of course.
