Try it today: A farming sim with added vampires in Stardew Valley

Review

Moonlight Peaks, a gothic-themed farming simulation game, has released its own demo for players to get a taste of its spooky yet charming world. The demo, available on the game’s Steam page, allows players to experience seven in-game days of farming, gathering, and home-decorating. While the preview does not include interactions with town locals, it does provide the opportunity to cultivate crops and customize the player’s home.

The premise of Moonlight Peaks revolves around proving to Count Dracula, the skeptical father, that even the undead can lead a compassionate life. Similar to popular games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Moonlight Peaks offers a vibrant cast of characters, including werewolves, witches, and mermaids, for players to interact with. The game also encourages players to explore the supernatural dating scene in search of eternal love.

Although no official release date has been announced for Moonlight Peaks, players can enjoy the demo right now. To stay updated on the upcoming game, players can join the official Discord community or subscribe to the email newsletter on the Moonlight Peaks website.

With Halloween approaching, the Moonlight Peaks demo is a fitting choice for those seeking a spooky gaming experience. However, there are also other Halloween-friendly titles to consider. For a darker and more grim experience, Baldur’s Gate 3 features a bone-chilling game mode called the Dark Urge, where players embody a mass murderer. On the action-oriented side, the co-op shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide offers an atmospheric experience filled with psychological horror and gore.
