The Two Moons

The Two Moons is a comedy RPG that pokes fun at bad RPG Maker games and “Game Designs I Made as a Kid,” a viral series of RPG Maker reels. Benjamin knows he is the Main Character in a poorly made game and wants no part in it. After a series of Yes/No choices in which No is not a real option, he reluctantly agrees to take the role and immediately regrets it.

Story and characters

Benjamin sets out on what begins as a generic fetch quest to save the world, but the story soon becomes stranger. He is joined by Anthony, his best friend, who somehow has the strategy guide for the game they inhabit, and Carol, a game developer inserted into the story. They seek the secret to stopping the moons from hitting the tower from Matthias, an unreliable, narcoleptic old man who lives in a tiny shack in MENria. As they investigate, the boundaries between the story, its characters and the people behind the game begin to blur.

Comedy and discoveries

The game uses inside jokes, fourth-wall breaks and meta-humor, alongside boring maps, stock graphics, assets recycled from other projects and a carefully placed teleporting chicken. It has two story routes, each with a distinct ending, plus three additional hidden endings and other Easter eggs, including entire games hidden within it. Backseat Developer Crystals tell you where to go, like a friend directing you through their RPG Maker game.

Voice and music

Every character has full voice acting, with all roles performed by the same person. The mostly original soundtrack includes music by Eric Francis.
