Mothlight
The unwanted are kicked into
the black sea…
… where they would
melt and harden into
a pure metal.
The metal was then harvested
and put to good use by the
common man.
From the most handsome developer ever…
Samu presents you with a new RPG experience that will
Blow. Your. Mind.
Introducing Mothlight. A game about exploration, weird stuff,
and exploring a world made entirely out of people. Literally.
WORLD
This world is different.
As people were kicked into the black sea,
their bodies melted and then hardened
into a pure metal called “Dreg Ore”.
Soon the ore started to clump together
and form islands. This happened more
and more until continents were made.
People who were kicked in fell on land instead
of in the water. And then boom. Civilization.
GAMEPLAY
Your main goal is to explore and thrive!
Gear up, get cooler armor and be more stylish.
Fight more bizarre bosses and find more exciting items!
The world is yours to conquer!
STORY
Neethan threatens Augus in a time most harsh.
Demons from the darkest depths of the sea are making everyone go mad.
The Apostles of the Deep Ones are manipulating powerful entities…
And Enzo is stuck in the middle of it.
Escape this hell and return to the world above…
…or be devoured by the eldritch abominations below.

This creator deserves a LOT more attention than they get. While it is an RPG maker game, the creativity shown is more than enough to enjoy it through every second. without knowing much of a background for the world it's an insanely interesting experience to try and piece together what you find. The uniqueness of the creatures and horrors in this game along with the soundtrack being something new to me lead the whole game to be an overall amazing experience. If I could go through it fresh again, I would. 10/10

its been years but im finally going back for another playthrough. from what i remember this was one of the most enjoyable experiences ive had in this genre. truly a hidden gem of abstract storytelling. I hope the creator is doing well, they've dropped off the face of the earth sadly

What's with Western European people and weird ass peak RPGmaker games?
Mothlight is a Lovecraftian horror inspired game which reminded me a lot of OFF by Mortis Ghost which I absolutely love. I do intend to check out the developer's other games now that I played this.
Gameplay is standard rpgmaker stuff so you play for the story here, which I won't spoil. But the summary is basically - The plot revolves around Enzo, a "Feline" who was kicked down to the Black Sea, a infinite plane of dark water that turns any flesh it touches into metal. All sorts of criminals and scum from society is expelled so that they might become useful metals. Those that give into the despair become "Ferals" malformed monsters representing the original being's deepest and most twisted desires.
I really liked the implications of real world issues with mental health such as the character of Idris, which I found myself relating to at times, and the main character, Enzo was also cool because cat ok.
One of the major characters as said Idris, also reminded me a bit of Guts from Berserk or even kind of like Gael from Dark Souls with the large sword, attack patterns and his personality too.
It's free on steam so you have nothing to lose by giving it a shot if you like these kind of games. Check it out!

This is a hidden gem in a sea full of shitty quirky rpg maker games with some deep metaphor about depression or mental illness
