About Over the Moon
Over the Moon is a visual novel developed by Keys to My Lockheart and released on March 31 2026. As the final chapter of The Rose Garden Trilogy it focuses on repairing a fractured relationship with a character named Moon. Players navigate dialogue choices and branching paths to influence her decision to return home or remain distant. The story is heavy on emotional tension and moral dilemmas with minimal combat or action. Set in a fictional urban landscape it blends drama with supernatural undertones. Best suited for fans of character-driven narratives and relationship-based stories.
Gameplay
The game centers on dialogue trees and contextual choices that shape Moon's perception of you. Each session involves reading scripted scenes with branching options that impact story progression. Players collect items and unlock memories to uncover backstories and hidden motivations. The single-player mode offers multiple endings based on relationship metrics tracked via a hidden system. Controls are simple using mouse clicks to select dialogue. Sessions often last 1-2 hours per chapter with frequent save points. The pacing is deliberate with extended scenes of quiet conversation and occasional flashbacks.
What Players Think
Community ratings average 4.2/5 with 78% of players finishing the main story. Average playtime is 12 hours but completionists spend up to 25 hours to unlock all endings. The most common mood is heartwarming (65%) though 22% describe it as bittersweet. Critics praise its writing with a 82% aggregate score but note slow pacing. The achievement "Moon's Forgiveness" (awarded for the hardest ending) has a 15% completion rate. One player wrote "The weight of every choice feels real even when the dialogue is awkwardly written."
PlayPile's Take
Priced at $19.99 Over the Moon is a niche pick for trilogy completists or fans of dense dialogue-driven stories. The 23 achievements add replayability but the low completion rate for key milestones suggests difficulty. While the emotional beats land well the static art style and text-heavy format may wear thin. Worth a try if you enjoy dissecting complex relationships through narrative but skip it if you prefer active gameplay. The story’s resolution feels earned but not universally satisfying.
