Moth Planet

About

Moth Planet is a 2D platformer wrapped in a pulpy mystery. You play a reporter sent to a remote village to investigate strange ruins and local rumors. The game mixes nimble platforming with talkative NPCs, moths, beetles, and other bugs who spill cryptic details about the world’s lore. Each level is a contained puzzle, blending environmental exploration with dialogue choices that nudge the story forward. The tone balances dry humor and surrealism as you chase leads through forests, caves, and ancient structures. The game’s premise, interviewing moths as a journalist, offers a fresh spin on the genre. Early builds show tight controls and charming, chaotic writing, though the single-player campaign clocks in under 10 hours. Playing on PC, Mac, or Linux, it lands July 26, 2024. It’s a brisk, talky adventure for fans of zany narratives and precise platforming, with a world that feels alive with eccentric bugs.

Storyline

You are, after all, a serious journalist.
