About Temple of the Green Moon
Temple of the Green Moon is an adventure game developed by OLKON GAMES that drops you into a surreal, eerie world blending ancient mysticism with psychological horror. Released on September 3 2025 for PC it tasks players with figuring out the secrets of a crumbling temple while navigating shifting environments and cryptic lore. The game leans into slow-burn storytelling with environmental puzzles and a sanity mechanic that warps the world as you explore. Think of it as a first-person mystery where the line between reality and hallucination is razor-thin and every discovery feels like a step deeper into a nightmare.
Gameplay
You move in first-person through a decaying temple complex solving logic puzzles and interpreting cryptic symbols to advance. The core loop revolves around exploration with a sanity meter that depletes when encountering disturbing stimuli or failing to solve puzzles quickly. As sanity drops the environment morphs, walls twist corridors shift and NPCs vanish or reappear. The controls are light and responsive but the tension comes from limited save points and a 30-minute timer between checkpoints. Each area requires mapping and backtracking to unlock hidden passages while managing resource scarcity like torches and sanity-restoring items. The pacing is deliberate with 70% of players averaging 10, 15 hours to finish.
What Players Think
PlayPile data shows it holds a 4.3/5 rating from 12.4K players with a 72% completion rate. Average playtime clocks in at 12.1 hours with 54% reporting "intrigued" and 34% "unsettled" after sessions. Critics praised its "eerie atmosphere" and "slow-burn tension" with Destructure calling it a "masterclass in psychological pacing" (88/100) and PC Gamer noting "uncomfortable but compelling design" (82/100). Achievement completion sits at 93% with 45 total trophies though the final 10% requires a 95+ sanity score to unlock. Community moods lean "mysterious" (68%) and "oppressive" (41%) with few calling it "boring" (12%).
PlayPile's Take
This is a niche title for players who enjoy methodical mystery-solving and don’t mind a slow burn. At $29.99 it offers 10+ hours of tense exploration but the lack of action or fast-paced segments may frustrate some. The 45 achievements add replayability but most can be skipped for a base finish. If you appreciate environmental storytelling and surreal horror with a focus on mood over combat Temple of the Green Moon delivers a memorable if polarizing experience. Just be ready to lose track of time in its twisted halls.
