Ritual of the Moon
Ritual of the Moon's takes five minutes from twenty-eight consecutive days to consider, measure, and test the variable nature of morality. It's a cycle of play that finds a rhythm with the player's social and behavioral conflict, and questions that seemed trapped in ethereal ambience reveal honest and unexpected conclusions. My own introspection and negligence, as it turns out, have a lot in common.

6 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is deeply introspective and unfolds gradually over 28 real-world days, combining meditative reflections with a slow reveal of the protagonist's backstory. While some find the gloomy tone off-putting, others are captivated by the poetic and contemplative nature, eagerly anticipating each day's progression. The gameplay involves brief daily interactions that drive a personal and emotional narrative, creating a unique, ritualistic storytelling experience.
“Like I said, the depressing, gloomy plot turned me off.”
“You basically 'play' for 3 minutes daily, and can only progress the story once a day for 28 days.”
“It is basically two lines of story, a meditative thought, and a decision to steer the comet away from earth or let it hit.”

90%Reflecting on our lives — Ritual of the Moon
Ritual of the Moon is a reflection of life, tranquility, and choice that is more of an experience than a game. The paper aesthetic and color palette fit the tone perfectly. There's not much in terms of content, but the short bursts are nice each day.
