Crimson Moon

Crimson Moon follows Ken, a high school student who is suddenly swallowed into another world. In a dungeon illuminated by a red moon, he searches for a way to rescue his younger sister while facing deadly battles and a terrible tragedy.

Search the dungeon

Exploring the dungeon and finding clues is central to the game. You search its corners for information that reveals the next step toward opening the blood path, and collect items to replace the HP and weapons that battles wear down. Terrifying aberrations roam the dungeon, and escaping is difficult once you encounter an enemy. Encounters are risky, so you must weigh fighting for items against trying to run; escape is not guaranteed.

Turn-based combat

Battles use a turn-based system. You decide whether to fight an enemy or flee and risk failing to get away, while taking into account the HP and weapon wear that combat causes.

Manage fear

The fear system uses a gauge that rises when you encounter enemies and when terrible events occur in the dungeon. If it reaches its maximum, your allies become frightened and their defenses are greatly reduced for several turns, putting the battle at a severe disadvantage. You can remove fear with a talisman, either during or outside battle, or by using spring water found in the dungeon.

Use nanomachines

As the game progresses, Ken obtains an ability called a nanomachine, which lets him use special skills in battle. Skills consume Energy, which starts at zero at the beginning of each battle and increases as turns pass. The ability is most effective against tough enemies.
