About
You are someone called the Mariner, a sailor who's been out at sea for an incredibly long time. You are headed to Elapse Island, one of the last known places of the world. There, it is said the people only exist in the moonlight, as well as the river that runs through the island: "Moon River." For whatever reason, the Mariner desperately seeks something at the end of the river.
As the Mariner, your objective is to travel to the river's end before dawn. Deep shadows obstruct each area of the island, so you must find any sources of pure light to dispel them and proceed down the river.
Along the way you'll find new people to meet, sights & sounds to experience, and secrets to uncover.
Moon River forgoes combat and heavy narrative, instead primarily consisting of exploration and puzzle solving with optional secret events scattered throughout.
Occasionally, there are special interactive events and actions to perform, such as operating a machine. These events briefly break up the regular gameplay for a more varied experience.
Beneath the main story, there is a hidden history of events from the past which can only be uncovered within the world's secret spaces and unchecked corners. Only the highly dedicated can piece the entire story together.

Moon River is an atmospheric experience with very light narrative and gameplay elements. You'll explore different areas of Elapse Island, searching for ways to dispel dark shadows that block your path along the river. This is not intended to be thrilling or challenging, but rather to evoke emotions through the colors and sounds of this environment.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the overall feeling of the game. The music fit perfectly and made exploring even more enjoyable, adding so much to the experience. The art is absolutely beautiful, and every area was a pleasure to look at. The only thing I was a little sad about is that there isn't a gallery where you can view all the pictures, after finishing the game. I would have loved to look through them again. 10/10 overall.
Amazing OST and great visuals. 10/10.
Kısa bir deneyim vaadeden hoş bir deneyim sunan bir oyun. Bedava olduğu içinde en azından denenmesini tavsiye ettiğim bir yapım

This has some beautiful art direction and very good music. All and all it's a very nice short experience, and an absolute steal considering that it's free
Inject more abstract stories about the sun and moon straight into my veins!! I loved how the colors used for each zone showed the colors of a sunrise over time. Just a beautiful short game.
I've named a new world.
Very pleasantly surprised, I don't usually set my expectations high when I go into a free RPG Maker game blind but even with that in mind the art and writing in this one are really solid. The NPCs all have distinct personalities and histories, and every area being a kind of self contained story made exploration really fun and fresh through each chapter. The protagonist is also such a sweetheart, learning more about them was the best part.
beautiful story, amazing soundtrack!!! 10/10 loved it
Очень понравилась игра. Особенно иллюстрации и саунтреки. Чем то напомнило Hylics ^^
This game really displays the charm of RPG-maker made games. The gameplay, while clunky, fits right in. The atmosphere and bgm fit the storytelling to a T. Some of the secrets were genuinely challenging to find, or easy to miss. I almost can't believe this game is free.
