Story and characters

Mothlight is a simple RPG that nevertheless offers a thoroughly compelling experience, with a strong story and atmosphere, and great presentation.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
i had a friend recommend this game to me a long while back, i didn't think i'd end up liking it this much. i really like the art style, the music, and the story. it all ties in really well together, i've played this game twice now. i feel it's definitely more of a story driven game than a gameplay one though.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
i also particularly liked all the animations during combat. it's fun and adds more life to the game and it's dark atmosphere. the mothlight soundtrack is also by far one of my favorite soundtracks. monplaisir did a fantastic job capturing the mood of the game. i've never heard anything like it. "ridiculous" is one of my favorite tracks. sometimes it reminds me of Oneshot, another good game.
