Mooncity feels like that messy shelf in my figure closet where everything is thrown together, but somehow my eye still goes first to the cute dangerous girl with blood on her sword. The story pretends to be about this quiet guy, Welt, shipbuilder boy who just wants to care his mom and mind his own boring life, but the city basically grabs him by the collar and drags him through filth and boobs at same time. One street has cult idiots, next corner some gang shaking people for coins, then suddenly, oh, fluffy-eared escort leaning on the wall, tail flicking, asking if he wants “company” like she’s talking about tea instead of grinding his soul out of his body. I like that the game acts serious and horny in same breath. Sometimes it even works. Sometimes it feels like drunk fanfic I still bookmark.

The visual novel parts do a lot of heavy lifting here. You click, you read, you choose, and then suddenly you are in a brothel room with a wolf-girl warrior who has scars on her belly and this smug smile like she already undressed you ten moves ago in her head. She talks about work, about hunting monsters, about how she loves strong men, and then mid-sentence she just straddles the poor boy and rides him until his legs look like jelly. There is no shy fade to black, she keeps talking, teasing, asking if he likes being squeezed by strong thighs, if he prefers claws on his back or soft fur on his face. And when you think “okay, that was the lewd scene”, she just flips him over and starts using him like toy. I hated that. I replayed it three times. The monster girls are like that too: one flower-demon girl in the arena smiles really sweet, with petals on her head like cute headband, then traps Welt in thick vines, spreads his legs and makes him cum just from rubbing plant tendrils against his cock while audience screams for blood. It is awful and yes, I have screenshots saved in my Telegram chat with myself. By the way, the fishing minigame can go fuck itself, why is it more annoying than fighting actual monsters? Anyway. The turn-based combat surprised me because sometimes it suddenly gets rough in a fun way, like you think this is just grinding, but losing a fight means you wake up half naked, covered in bite marks from some catgirl thug, wallet empty and dignity missing, and you kind of want to lose again just to see what she does if she gets bored. The game world is cruel, filthy, too horny in stupid places and not horny enough in one or two scenes I really wanted more, but Mooncity feels alive in that sick, cute, broken way I keep collecting in my heart.
