Short IF game about death and relationships, January 20, 2025
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

This is a pretty short twine game with about 2-3 screens.

It uses a lot of imagery in a way that it was hard to know what's going on. There is a great battle, and a promise to come back from a fight. There's a woman you love, and there's the moon, and they might be the same?

It's very hard to tell. It's clear the author felt some strong emotion while writing this, and while I can't discern their intended message or atmosphere, I can be grateful for the author communicating their feeling to me.

Like other 30x30 games this has really small text with a settings option to make the text larger.

The Moon’s Knight is a micro atmospheric fantasy Twine, a short exchange between a beat-down knight and the Moon, whose favours may have run out at the worst possible moment. The prose is luxurious and heavy (in a good way!), giving weight to what seems a turning point in their relationship. The two endings are equally fitting to the story. Honestly so beautiful. I could imagine it so clearly in my head.
