Summary

  • July 7 is the full release date for Moonlight Peaks, while a free demo is already live on Steam ahead of launch on Steam, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
  • 23 romance options headline the game’s pitch, alongside vampire farming, potion brewing, embroidery, shapeshifting into a bat and a nighttime loop that sends players back to their coffin before sunrise.
  • Moonlight Peaks casts players as Dracula’s child trying to prove a vampire can live without evil, in a town populated by werewolves, witches, mermaids and other supernatural residents.
  • Steam Deck verification and side activities such as the card game Nokturna, flower arranging and spell-learning broaden its appeal as a darker spin on the cozy farming-sim genre.
