The Falconers: Moonlight
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Eighty people, either dead or missing. Rumours of monsters that stalk their human prey in the mist-clad forest. Moonlight is a gold mining town in trouble, and only The Falconers can help.
The Falconers: Moonlight is a supernatural thriller visual novel set in the 19th Century West Coast of New Zealand. Falconer, Cassandra Winter, is on her first solo mission. Can she save the people of Moonlight from their plight? Or will she disappear into the mist like so many others before her?
The Falconers is an IP that mixes historical fact with supernatural thriller and fantasy fiction. Its stories are based in the 19 th Century colonies of the European empires...Britain, Spain, Portugal, France, Sweden, Belgium, Italy, Holland, Germany and Russia.
The Falconers are an international organisation of 'monster hunters' devoted to protecting European colonists from the entities that would thwart the spread of 'civilisation' into the wild frontiers. These creatures are 'The Cullers'.
And it all starts in New Zealand, the most far-flung frontier of them all.
A Visual Novel is like a Choose Your Own Adventure book. It is text-heavy but features images, sounds and music that help you become immersed in the story.

This was a really interesting, gruesome story! It had nice elements of supernatural mystery and thriller, albeit with a small, but colorful bunch of characters. I had an inkling of who the killer would be, but truth be told, I was unsure towards the end. It was also refreshing to see mature and smart dialogue between people unlike dialogues I've read in other games. The artwork is stunning, of course. The only major downside is that the choices didn't feel all that impactful in the end. Speaking of which, the artwork at the very end of the visual novel was beautiful, reminded me of those old westerns. Would love to play some more visual novels featuring The Falconers! I thought that was a creative take on monster hunters.
This looks amazing, did they abandon it?

It is for the final product. But along the way when all the demo part that have been changed are finalized, it is possible to make a snip and turn it into another version of demo. However, due to a very tight schedule we have, it's might ended up come out after the final product itself.
I love this game so much! Great graphics and a great game too! <3
And the final video for the demo. This ending makes me want the full game all the more sooner. Can't wait for it to come out!
