The Moonstone Equation

Scientists love a good mystery

The Moonstone Equation is a single player puzzle/platform game about science and curiosity presented in a modern pixel art style. It's set in and around a remote hilltop research facility built specifically to investigate some mysterious inscriptions carved into pieces of moon rock found buried within the hillside. You guide our protagonist Alice as she arrives at the facility and starts to live and work with the various scientists, theorists and oddballs that already call the place home. The Moonstone equation draws its design inspiration from games like Fez, Monument Valley, The Talos Principle and Ico. There are the obvious puzzles and a reasonable route for those that want something approachable and then there are the layers and layers of other rewarding little details for those that enjoy looking under and into everything.

The player is free to explore and investigate a world full of puzzles as they like, discovering (and shaping) the narrative as they go in a game world that changes and responds to when (and how often) you choose to play.

If it's night where you are, then it's night at the facility. If you don't play for a few days (or weeks) then expect the people at the facility to notice. You don't have to get up at midnight or play on a specific day just to solve things, but you might discover something interesting if you do.

With very little threat and no 'enemies'. It's the perfect game for those inquisitive people who enjoy a good puzzle and the time and space to crack it.
