The Game
A dark spirit has taken the moon, shattered it, and spread the moon pieces and stars across the land. You, as Wolf, have taken the task of gathering the moon and stars and returning them to the night sky before nightfall. This is a 3D platforming and exploration game. Players have a limited time to traverse the map and find the moon pieces and stars. Once nightfall comes, the player must make their way to the highest point of the map to place what they've gathered back into the night sky.
Controls
