Under the supervision of the original staff, the game was also ported to the Nintendo Switch in 2019. <em>moon<\/em> looks at the actions we often see from RPG heroes in a different light. In the game world, the hero has dubbed innocent animals as monsters and slaughtered them in the name of gaining experience points. The protagonist of <em>moon<\/em> gets sucked into the world of the game he\u2019s playing and must save the souls of the animals that were killed by the hero, while collecting \u201cLove\u201d to increase his Love Level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inhabitants of the game perform a number of actions depending on the time and day of the week. The florist goes to work in the morning, guards man their posts, some characters participate in secret hobbies at night, one person peacefully fishes each day. Each character follows a fixed schedule that determines their behavior. By observing their lives and performing specific actions, it\u2019s possible to discover that character\u2019s \u201chidden love.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BLACK BIRD Release Trailer (Nintendo Switch, Steam, 2018)\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-teYMMF4owM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Black Bird<\/em> is a shooting game that unfolds in a dark world. One day, a little girl sadly dies alone on a street corner and is reborn as an ominous black bird. Players control this black bird and bring calamity to the kingdom. The game features a distinct pixel art style that\u2019s reminiscent of a fairy tale. As you clear stages, you get closer to the story\u2019s hidden secret. The game also has an operatic soundtrack that\u2019s sang in a made-up language, with enemy movements expertly synchronized and performed along with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can get a high enough score, the game\u2019s true ending will be revealed to you. Since the ending is tied to your skill, there\u2019s lots of incentive to replay the game. Clearing the game also unlocks True Mode, which features new enemies and hidden characters worth lots of points. And with the online leaderboards, there\u2019s plenty of challenge to be had.<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>moon<\/em> and <em>Black Bird<\/em> are scheduled to launch on PS4 and PS5 on December 16. <em>moon<\/em> is also planned to release on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1714580\/moon_Remix_RPG_Adventure\/?l=japanese\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>, with the release date coming at a later date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, <em>moon<\/em> is currently available on Nintendo Switch, and <em>Black Bird<\/em> is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/857500\/BLACK_BIRD\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a> and Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Onion Games will also be broadcasting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OyJbkNOoUHE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Onion Games Live 2021<\/a> on YouTube on December 13, so if you\u2019re a fan of the studio, be sure to check it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>moon and Black Bird are coming to PS4\/PS5 on December 16.
