Every game in MoonQuest features a unique, procedurally-generated world to explore. Each world contains a variety of regions, each with their own resources, wildlife, enemies, merchants, weather, and moon. Delve into the caves below the forest to find rare metal ores, adventure into ancient ruins to discover powerful items, and find the lost cathedral to discover its secrets.

Each world you generate may contain numerous resources to mine or harvest, such as ores, plants and wildlife. Use these resources to forge items or build structures to help you on your quest. Some of the valuable resources you can mine include silver ore, sugar, bones and crystals.

The world in MoonQuest is fully destructible, so you'll be chopping through thick vines to gain entrance to lairs and demolishing walls to infiltrate castles and ruins. Some challenges in the world may require specialised tools to overcome, but the challenges are always surmountable.

Some examples of regions you may encounter are:

• A forest buried in snow, with frozen ponds and wandering bandits;
• A grand castle atop a mountain, guarded by a silver legion;
• A labyrinthine ruin preceding a desolate tomb;
• A rope bridge leading to a deserted beach;
• A sewer system hiding an ancient rusted machine;
• A winding system of sugar caves, populated by bats;
• A cathedral plagued by demons, hidden below an altar; and,
• A bustling village of craftspeople.

Moons

The world in MoonQuest is surrounded by a number of strange moons. Each new game uses a randomly generated set of moons, each with subtle influences on the landscape below it. Some of the moons you may encounter are:

• Giant Moon: a featureless orb which embiggens many things;
• Treasure Moon: a shining beacon which symbolises great wealth;
• Water Moon: a beautiful blue sphere which brings relentless rain and flood; and,
• Frog Moon: a green rock that creates frogs, lots of frogs.

Playable characters

There are many playable characters in MoonQuest, many with unique abilities or items. Some characters affect the world that is generated and some characters pursue different quests. Some of the characters available include:

Items

There are hundreds of items to discover and craft, including weapons, tools, and armour. These items may be hidden deep within a mountain, in the cellar of a merchant, or locked away in a dungeon. Finding these items will help you not die. In the town you'll find merchants and crafting tools, and by locating the right currency or resources you can buy, forge, cook, or weave many useful items.
