Moon Rings
A downloadable game
The cursed Blood Moon hangs over this land always.
You are a witch and cannot abide its reign any longer. You have used your magicks to find a hidden labyrinth, said to hide rings which contain power to control the moon.
A last resort to change your home.
As you step foot into the labyrinth, the Blood Moon speaks,
“Turn back, witch! Everything will be taken from you!”
What is this?
Moon Rings is a solo journaling game based on the Carta and Aspire SRDs. You are a witch who wishes to end the reign of the cursed Blood Moon. Venture into the labyrinth, find the Moon Rings, and cast the ritual to change the moon! The labyrinth is deadly and the Blood Moon is watching, so you’ll need your strength of will, magick, and good fortune to make it to the end!
Note that this game has references to violence, blood, anxiety, grief, drowning, cults, and needles.

Oh wow, everything about this is SO stylish! You can really feel the vibe from the very opening of the game and you managed to streamline certain aspects of Carta in ways I haven't seen widely done (or at all). You put something truly truly special!
Thank you so much!!
This is quite gorgeous. Are there plans for a print run?
Thank you!
Yes, we do plan to a print run for this. I'll likely make a post and update the itch page with links when that becomes available.
