The Falconers: Moonlight

About

The Falconers: Moonlight is a visual novel with supernatural thriller elements set on the 19th Century West Coast of New Zealand. You play as Cassandra Winter, a Falconer on her first solo mission, tasked with solving the town’s mysterious plight. The story revolves around branching choices that determine her fate, either saving Moonlight or meeting the same disappearance as past Falconers. Text-driven with occasional interactive moments, the game leans into eerie folklore and personal stakes. Set against a richly detailed historical backdrop, the game’s strength lies in its moody atmosphere and layered storytelling. Players navigate a mix of mystery and the occult, with dialogue and investigation shaping outcomes. Available since 2017 on PC, Mac, and Linux, it’s a short but tightly written experience. The blend of local legends and tense decision-making makes it a memorable entry in the visual novel genre.
