"The Moonlight Path - Part I: Prologue:The Beginning of the End..." Game Information:
Here you find excerpts from the story, what the beginning is about
and what one might expect to happen further on. Reader learns
what the setting is and what time the world is living:

The story begins, and you very soon learn that your father is cold-bloodedly murdered and
after a series of strange events and revelations of the impending doom
around you, you set out to the night, escaping the City as your only
choice. You have a friend, the only one you know well enough to trust
him fully in the nearby town of Elturel.

You head towards the town to see your friends, traveling through
the night, only to bump into a horrible event and taken captive. You
wake up in a damp wagon, your limbs hurting and sickness catching up to
you.

For over a month you travel towards the unknown, fed feebly and beaten.

Suddenly the sound of swords and shields clashing together halts
the wagons...your journey stops to a place unknown... the journey has
taken over a month and you are weak.. you need help, lest your sickness
becomes the death of yours.

Oblivious to your surroundings and everything that engulfed you all those weary
days and nights, you are alone... broken, damned and drained. You set out to seek
your path, seek answers and learn why everyone and everything was betrayed...
and why was your father murdered.

...A faint, gentle wind rushes forth as you regain your consciousness.
The partially clouded sky looms above and you set out to seek answers,
to seek your own self...

* Player shapes the world and people around him/her depending on
actions, company and other things. Most of the deeds have impact
somewhere in the world, people change when they travel with you. Forget
linear gameplay, for there is none in The Moonlight Path.

* The path between alignments – and afterwards depending on your
actions taken – is made different, to make the game much more intense,
interesting and complex. This also adds a lot to replayability and
variation.

- Gameplay Info -

Gameplay hours:

25-35hours.

Single or Multiplayer:

Singleplayer.

Making it multiplayer/Persistent World module at the moment would risk many things, and it is not essential
at this point yet, as the story evolves the PC and her choises made. As stated above, we still got excessive plans
in making the module for Persistent World purposes, though with a different story line and dynamic for PW purposes.

Roleplaying:

Heavy, true Roleplaying. That's what you are rewarded the most for.

Not much to be added to that, I think.

Hack & Slash:

Medium or below average, depends on how you roleplay your way through.

Of course, it is a huge part of the adventure, confronting enemies in the hostile environments
where the module will take place, so you won't be left without vigorous battles, blood and gore!

Scope:

Huge.

Why? Because the story is like huge, simply put.
There are 50-100+ areas per Chapter, so you can expect many areas from wilderness to caverns, astral and what not.
Worry not, all the areas contain points of interest and well detailed environments, atmosphere and of course what makes them
the most vivid, our Original Score put to life!

Content Rating:

18+.

The module contains everything that the whole dark, Medieval Era of our world contained;
Blood, gore, battles, mutilation, rapes, excessive violence, certain drugs, alcohol, somewhat raw language (nothing modern though,
as they were not part of that age), graphical violence, disturbing scenes and oppressive atmospheres.
If you can't take it, don't play the module, or at least don't blame us. We are aiming for realistic view of the world played through a game,
just what it was and what the world is even today; brutal and filled with chaos.

This is not to inspire anyone to do what the game shows, we are not aiming to agitate anyone or inspire anyone in bad manner.
I take extensive inspiration from Fallout series / Planescape: Torment and other older games, when game designers had the balls to do something different.
