The weird game that changed the world forever

[@no_fishman9669]

In a way, Moon has this nostalgic comfy vibe to it. This may sound pretty corny, but Moon is like playing threw your childhood all over again, you first feel weird and unfamiliar with this world, but the more you live there, the more you become capeable, growing up in a way, becoming attached to these strange yet charming characters, spreading that kindness people need in their life. It truly is a game full of heart, as well as one of a kind experience.

[@HikikomoriMedia]

I totally get that warm blanket feeling when playing Moon. Onion Games express love like no other dev

[@hemangchauhan2864]

This video is dedicated to all the creators who create with HEART This was a perfect encapsulation of Love-De-Lic, the OG indie dev who dared to do something different. I can't tell you how much I want the world to know about Kimura-san. His games have that heartful quality that's not found anywhere else. Buy their games, support Games with Heart Edit - spellings

[@BioPhoenixReviews]

moon is a game that im still surprised that we got an official english release. if there is 1 thing i can give modern gaming some credit is that a lot more of these kind of games have a better chance to come out officially. thats cool that some of the same people also worked on the tingle game and i also saw they did the game endonessia on PS2 wish is one i randomly found out about a year ago wish looked interesting. great coverage on this one

[@usernamehandle]

Aw, that was a good one. Hikiko. I can’t believe there’s even a Rule of Rose connection!?! Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I want to play Moon! I need to get a Switch asap

[@12ealDealOfficial]

If you primarily play Japanese games, it's the best console available currently. While the PS4 and might get a tentpole release once or twice a year, the Switch quietly gets hit after hit every season. Highly recommended, even more so that a next gen console for the time being.

[@yehuda8589]

Moon is actually on Steam now, so you don't even need a switch anymore.

[@beat-man5167]

I love how eclectic the soundtrack is. The track, Warp Wet Woods, was done by The Sleepwalk, a Coaltar of the Deepers side project.

[@HikikomoriMedia]

I love Coalter. That's a crazy connection

[@usernamehandle]

New Hikikoooo! Let’s f***ing GOOOOOOO

[@JR-hf4xy]

I love you Hikiko, I feel like I've posted the same comment a million times but there's no one like you on KZbin. Another potential game I'll love to add to the list.

[@HikikomoriMedia]

Thanks JR, more is on the way.

[@theaceofspades56]

Great video as always, Hikki! I'm currently playing this! This game is also available on the Playstation store for ps4 and ps5 if you're like me wihout Nintendu swiss.

[@benhillman8384]

Did you see the 24 killers demo in the steam nextfest? It's very sweet, incredibly faithful to the spirit of moon with a bit of hylics in the visuals but the developer seems completely invisible, funding their stuff by making clay figurines and potted plants.

[@HikikomoriMedia]

Oh I SAW it Ben. Your video awaits.

[@MACZ2021]

I just rewatched your Death Stranding video since I'm finally getting to play the game, and while watching it I was thinking "I wonder when Hikiko is gonna upload a new video" and literally right after that I see the notification for this video.

[@jcng7819]

As a person who has 100% Chulip, I can't imagine how hard this game would be without a guide. Anyways, excellent video, you never fail to deliver

[@HikikomoriMedia]

Much appreciated!

[@DC-FGC]

I made my comment before scrolling down into the comments, and I'm just glad to see I'm not the only one to remember Chulip. It was a really odd experience.

[@animegirl20]

I read somewhere that Tim Rogers did the localization for this game, it’s a perfect match for him too!

[@diegomorales7290]

hell yeah hikki & moon. two of my fav things on a midnight rave ('cos is midnight here) greetings from Mexico!

[@HikikomoriMedia]

thanks for sharing the video with the rest of the onion group

[@suzanyaa8421]

Nice! I'm definitely going to pick this game up! I've loved his other ones as well, but had never heard of this one before your video! Thank you!!!

[@Randalftown]

This has been in my backlog since forever

[@ZappBranniglenn]

0:59 Hey is that The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers? Nice pickup. I definitely remember the interview with Kimura, his brush with death, intense stuff. Another fun bit of trivia regarding Moon Remix RPG's official release is that it was translated by Tim Rogers, a guy that worked at Grasshopper Manufacture for a few years. I recommend checking out his Kotaku video interview with Suda, they get very strange when they're in the same room.

[@JSPOT1n0nly]

Hey!, I watched this one. You do such a great job of conveying your appreciation and passion for this game that I found myself starring at the purchase button in the Nintendo eShop... Alas, I am not a patient man and went back to street fighter.

[@CYBER_FunkER]

So I bought moon a few months ago, I was a bit on the fence about it, I really enjoyed the story and world and such, but I was trying to 100% it and all and it was driving me insane. I lost like 3 hours of play because I hadn't saved in awhile and I just unlocked the fast travel... not knowing you cannot go back into the exit flowers to go back to the house. It really got me upset since I only have limited time as an adult to play games, but then I kinda realized "oh maybe that's the point, the game is telling me to not play it, it's meta WoOoO~" and thought about trying to get a refund. This video has blown my fucking mind because you compared it to Chibi Robo, a game I hold very dearly in my heart and now that I have that connection, I think it's worth giving another try.

[@CanoaFurada-uk4lr]

Started to watch your channel last month and man you are goat

[@goatbone]

Amen. Great guy.

[@DC-FGC]

I want this game now. It has a game loop that reminds me of another nearly-unknown title named Chulip - in that, you go around trying to get kisses(chu chu) from people(and robots and other oddities), which causes the story to progress and new areas to open up.

[@HikikomoriMedia]

well it's made by the same developers. I believe I even included Chulip later in this video

[@DC-FGC]

@@HikikomoriMedia Ah, neat. I tend to multitask while watching KZbin, so I missed that part.

[@HikikomoriMedia]

no worries. I covered more from this dev. look up "onion games" on the channel

[@feIon]

fun fact! there was originally a run button but it was removed in the final release because they figured that going too fast around the map would ruin the vibe

[@Rihcterwilker]

Moon is a good game, no doubt about that, but i feel that games like Radiata Stories and Chulip really expanded on the whole feel of realism when it comes to npc schedules. Chulip, particularly, feels like a straight up remix of Moon with Ufo, a day in the life, where there are the regular town residents, and there are the "underground" residents, that act like what could be a way to get more exp to advance the story.

[@airbagged_]

This video deserves way more views. Wow.

[@HikikomoriMedia]

glad it found it's way to you, somehow through the algorithm

[@ty-xq7bl]

LMAO THE BRITISH ACCENT PART IS SO TRUE I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE

[@demimaxwebspace]

another very good video. ive definitely been meaning to try out moon. this style of game is far and few between, but it just makes them all the more special.

[@jczbas]

Moon ain’t no joke I got stuck after hours and hours

[@diegomorales7290]

also HOLY CRAP i need the name of that board game kimura-san designed. I NEED TO PLAY AS A POTATO

[@NintendanGX]

Loved Chibi-robo, and I've still got Little King's Story in my backlog. I've also bought all of Onion's games on Switch so far, so here's hoping it counts to something good for them.

[@HikikomoriMedia]

They have a big RPG coming out.

[@lanciferian]

I have owned this game on my Switch since it was released in English, but have to admit that it's odd game design made it hard for me to play. I love hearing your passion for unique games though and your description of Moon has reinvigorated my desire to try this one out again

[@goatbone]

If you get stuck, try using a guide. It is an odd game and when I played through it I was a bit confused at first and made a few mistakes but it was such a unique experience really not like any other game I have played.

great content as always! i saw the game when it came out, even got the game manual from somewhere but i guess now i have to play the game! i played one of onion's mobile titles when swery was telling people about it but didnt feel like playing it too much thanks to the mobile nature of the game. this game gives off strong earthbound vibes, im kinda surprised you didnt bring it up. x]

[@goatbone]

Sort of did when mentioning undertale.

This was fantastic!

[@goatbone]

Loved playing this game. I did everything except the fishing and flying ship arcade game. Really curious about where the speech sound samples come from.

[@YurikoSakuma]

It would be cool if you do videos bases on the love-de-lic legacy with stuff like chulips, rule of rose, rhe gsmes developed in Grasshopper It would be awesome!

[@HikikomoriMedia]

I have a whole line up of Grashopper videos on the channel. A few onion games too.

[@YurikoSakuma]

@@HikikomoriMedia Yeah I know! Ive watched some of those videos a looot, specially the SOTD one. But I was refering to love-de-lic like, the other two games made before the company died (although one doesnt has a translation), the two games by Punchline, the games made inside grasshopper by one of LDL members, stuff like that in the vein of Swery Files. I love those videos and watched the one about TGL like 6 times (not joking) so I need a new hyperfixation lmao

[@HikikomoriMedia]

Well I'm delighted you enjoyed the obscure stuff. In the immediate future, Onion's new game Stray Children will be covered as soon as it drops.

[@LutraLovegood]

Didn't Tim Rogers, of Action Button fame, work on the translation?

[@twqwhy6763]

Thank you for you video, hikiko, now i member that i wanted to buy that kissing game on steam sale

[@gnardawgyt]

Really glad you enjoyed it! Been on my wishlist for some time now but I'll go ahead and give it a go at your recommendation

[@turtlehermitgmg]

“Over 4 of their games”?? Wow, just wow

Too bad no one likes weird games anymore bless they're popular.

YOOOOO

[@jklmnopq666]

Waiting for the 51 bois (Hikiko and ThorHighHeels) to make a Fafafa (Dandy song) cover

I was expecting the 'Love-de-lic' chart to show up midway through the video.

[@vodkaffee4856]

are those sounds effects from "The good life"?

[@HikikomoriMedia]

Yeah, I ripped them when I made my Good Life video

[@Pumpkin_King0]

hmm I think I never heard of this game

[@sadboi4522]

I really like moon for the most part and is an example of video games being art. But the gameplay side wasn't for me. 8/10
