A vampire farm sim that let’s you decorate your property
A perfectly bite-sized treat for those who like things that go bump in the night, Moonlight Peaks is a cosy farm sim in which you’re a vampire, and occupy your time in the darkness for all eternity by foraging, farming, potion brewing, spellcasting and decorating, before then of course taking glam photos of your haunted house and wider estate.
For this preview demo build of Moonlight PeaksI’m confined to my property, so there will be no checking out the wider town or meeting the local supernatural crew who will be available in the full release, but there’s plenty to do on my farm regardless. The first order of business, as ever, is planting a couple crops. MoonlightPeaksget points in my book for making it pumpkins instead of parsnips, which I’ve now planted in far too many farm sims.
I’m also set up with an upgraded set of tools in the demo so I can easily chip away at all the large trees, rocks, and iron veins on my property that I’d presumably have to wait a while to tackle in the full release. I’ve got a lot of freedom to pick up and move all the pieces of my property as I see fit, from pathways to decor to the pre-built cursed chicken coop I was equipped with in the demo. The real star of MoonlightPeaksso far though is the spellcasting and potion brewing.
WITH MY WAND I CAN CAST SPELLS FOR AUTOMATICALLY WATERING MY CROPS
With my wand I can cast spells for automatically watering my crops, moving trees without cutting them down, and making my crops mature faster. The spellcasting minigame, which has me follow the movements of a cursor around a circle, is just a smidge tricky on a gamepad, but it’s quick and catchy as minigames go. I imagine the full release will have some kind of magic meter to prevent infinite spellcasting but I didn’t seem to have any restrictions in the demo. To create potions, I have to grow magical herbs like Googly Garlic and Glow Ginger to combine into brews that give me infinite stamina for one night or increase crops gathered for a time.
