PRESENTATION

Crystal Moon is a Puzzle Game in which the player will play a space archeologist in search of the civilization on a frozen moon with the objectif of understanding the reason for its disappearance, both sudden and mysterious.

To prevail over the obstacle which will stand in his way, he will have to use an alien tool, allowing him to interact with his surroundings and use portals to an alternate dimension.

The player experience will be paced between exploration phases of the environment and puzzle phases, getting more and more complex, influenced by an secondary dimension, involving the player with the discovery of the last moment of this civilization and the understanding of the reason behind its disappearance.

Core Loop

Crystal Moon's Core Loop consists in moving from an exploration phase to a puzzle phase through a progression problem. This problem is exposed in one reality, and the other can possess its resolution. The puzzle loop can exist in several different instances, and when the progression is resumed, the player is rewarded with a deeper understanding of Crystal Moon's narrative and the continuation of the game.

Interaction Loop

An interaction loop that represents the "Testing" and "Mastering" of an ability/mechanism/skill, and which determines the course of the DEV-oriented puzzle creation and PLAYER-oriented learning process.

Rewards are based on the complexity and the difficulty of a puzzle sequence.
