The Eye of the Storm: A Moonstray Story

You wake up on the shores of Moonstray with no memories of who you were. Rescued by Rowan, you are given a fresh start in a quiet fishing village with the locals. But in this island, lies a deep unspoken mystery. As a strange storm gathers on the horizon, you must decide break down their inner walls before the storm pulls them under. --Walk into the Unknown-- Moonstray is a short and sweet visual novel about identity, healing, and the troubles we protect ourselves from time and time again. You play as a stranger who washes ashore with no color. You get taken in by the locals of a misty fishing village who take care of you. An unusual storm is brewing  over the sea, and you find yourself drawn to the locals in this island. It's up to  you to help them learn that love overcomes all before the storm turns violent. Hang out with a cast of characters while you get closer and vulnerable with them. Play different routes with different characters. Each one is it's own timeline...or are they? Version 4.0 updates: - Main character rework (Meet Harper!) Now the main character has been designed to have more personality and involvement. The MC is officially named Harper and their ambiguous identity has more purpose in the story. You can still name the character anything you want.  This is you! - New Final Route After completing all three routes from Rowan, Theo, and Cedar...something new unlocks. You will travel to a far away land that exists in your mind. If you have walked every path, you will have to enter something as a name. - Bug Fixes & Grammar correcting  .Numerous typos, grammar issues, tense inconsistencies, and missing punctuation have been addressed across the full script. - Story Reworks  There are tons of things added to the main three routes to address some feedback about the imbalance and story concerns.  - New music and sounds - New jukebox feature (Can be unlocked after finishing the game.) I'm a solo developer with the help of a friend doing the writing, coding, and art, so you might see some changes or updates as I polish things up.  This game will not work on IOS. You can set the music and sound to be quieter on "Preferences". This is to help people play the game with sensitive hearing (like me). Thanks for understanding. If you have any feedback or any bugs to report, let me know in the comments! It would help me a lot, I check them often.  Moonstray is and will always be free to download. I am making this while working a full-time job and going to school, and every update is built in whatever time I can find between the two.
