Explore... Investigate... Photograph... A Hidden World

​Moonrise Fall is an atmospheric exploration puzzle game about a boy who finds himself lost in a supernatural forest after losing both parents in a car crash. Put your detective skills to the test. Armed with a clue-filled journal, a camera, and a lantern, he must unravel the mysteries of the forest and photograph the strange creatures that reside there. Moonrise Fall is a brain-teaser-filled world mixed with classic adventuring, exploration, and collecting. A surreal, understated experience about loss and finding new life inspired by real-life experiences. Uncover locations like caves, mines, a lumber mill, and otherworldly locales at your own pace. Discover why the boy has been trapped in this strange place and by whom.
