If I had to condense my feelings to a sentence, this game is what IF is all about. The writing is lush, evocative, and tinged with the stoic sadness of the Japanese (I presume) medieval period. The puzzles are just difficult enough to draw you further into the dread revelation that builds and builds into a cathartic end, but no harder than they need to be. Yes, this is a deliriously wonderful and refreshingly non-frustrating work. The Moonlit Tower is far more memorable than many of the games penned by IF legends.

I thought it was Chinese or Korean when I played the game. (Spoiler - click to show)I think it was the mention of silks and bamboo flutes. Also the red and green and such. Very Chinese. But I don't know as much as I should about the Eastern cultures.
