I feel like I’m IN it. From the Story posts to the FaceTime calls, they bring you inside the game and into the adventure. My heart is literally beating out of its chest. PLEASE HURRY WITH EPISODE 4!!!!!!! PLEASE. ### 2/5 — Leider nicht die Qualität, die man von Duskwood gewohnt war *2026-08-11* Vieles ist nur noch auf Geld ausgelegt (bzw. In der Entwicklung Geld sparen). Die Profil Gestaltung etwa benötigt Diamanten, die Antwortoptionen ebenfalls, pro Wahl teilweise 20 Dias und man bekommt pro Tag nur ganze 3-4. Überwiegend AI Bilder so weit das Auge reicht. Man kann sich die Käufe fürs Profil nicht einmal aussuchen, weil man zufällig einen Rahmen/ Bild/ Hintergrund bekommt. Wäre es so schlimm gewesen wenn man wenigstens ein Geschlecht hätte wählen können? Was soll ich mit einem männlichen AI Chara als Profilbild anfangen, wenn ich eine weibliche Person bin? Richtig, nichts! Dias sind dann weg für eigentlich nichts. Die nächste Wahl im Chat kann ich nicht mehr treffen, weil Dias für besagtes nutzloses Bild ausgegeben wurden. Kaufoptionen viel zu teuer für das was man eigentlich bekommt. Leider enttäuscht es mich, auch wenn die Story sicher toll ist und sich damit bestimmt viel Mühe gegeben wurde… aber man wird ständig durch das Diamanten system ausgebremst und wenn mein Chatpartner ebenfalls ein AI Bild hat na ja,… das ist einfach nicht dasselbe. Bei Duskwood oder anderen vergleichbaren Games wurde es ja auch anders gelöst. ### 3/5 — 3 в ряд *2026-08-05* Я очень расстроена( в Дасквуде все было намного проще, а тут этот 3 вряд с пометкой черепа непроходимый!! Ни что не сравнится с Дасквудом, я его проходила не раз и ждала продолжения, но эта часть очень-очень ужасная ### 5/5 — Viiite l’épisode 4! *2026-07-27* Je suis totalement accro! J’ai hâte d’avoir la suite ! ### 2/5 — Matc three game in reality *2026-07-27, version 1.3.7* Now there are mini games that need matching symbols to add ‘stars’. So you can continue the game. Going to delete, and request my money back. This isn’t a an interactive story, it is a natch 3 game. ### 3/5 — What the heck? *2026-07-26, version 1.3.7* What I wanna know is, why you make the puzzle so hard and then give us only two minutes of story before pushing us back into it. You guys take so long to put out episodes that are mainly just based on game and very little dialogue. So I’m not sure what takes so long to write everything. Duskwood I loved with all my heart, but it was so much different. Guys don’t fix what isn’t broken. Listen to your readers. ### 2/5 — GEM SYSTEM NEEDS REMOVING *2026-07-25, version 1.3.7* As someone who absolutely adored duskwood and played it over 4 times, I was buzzing to play this! But the horrendous mini games and need for gems all the time is nothing but pure robbery! The mini games on duskwood were at least beatable even if you had to persist for while. But I just one mini games where I had to get rid of cloud looking things and the game literally never provided me with enough of them to break, I went over 8 moves without a single one appearing. If you need money that badly just make your game a few quid and give people options on how to spend money, don’t force everyone off your game! It’s a joke and it’s very sad that because of this I will not get to experience the story, because I know the devs are great at storytelling. Just sort the gems and minigames out!!! ### 5/5 — 🫶🏻 *2026-07-20, version 1.3.4* I really like it ### 2/5 — There are definitely some problems *2026-07-19, version 1.3.4* The actual story seemed decent but the constant need for gems is ridiculous and the little achievements that earn gems only give you maybe one or two gems, I feel like this game is mostly based on the need for money, you spend more time on mini games then the actual story and if you run out of hearts you have to wait hours for your hearts to come back, even for certain choices you need gems, I personally didn’t like this and the prices for silly little gems is also ridiculous, I really wish these type of games weren’t so money focused, it’d be a pretty good game without the mini games and constant need for gems, I wouldn’t recommend unless you’re willing to spend money and play poorly designed mini games, I didn’t even finish episode one before deleting ### 5/5 — Крутая игра!!! *2026-07-17* Прошла Дасквуд, начала эту игру. Что сказать, что сказать. Дасквуд просто невероятная игра, а Moonvale меня прям заинтриговал, местами было жутко, я прям реально испугалась 😂Конечно, я ввела код, чтобы быть все той же героиней, и связь с Дасквудом и послание от Джейка меня прям вдохновили, чувствую себя полноценным персонажем с историей, которая переживает потерю и не знает, где ее любимый… Но пор этом она снова в строю и готова помочь, просто круто, что есть такая возможность не потерять свою личность. В этом деле много мистики, что меня не может радовать, пока не знаю, кто и что, буду ждать выхода других эпизодов. Спасибо, что можно выбрать свою фотку и поставить на аву, выбрать знак зодиака, хахаха, место проживания, балдеж. Романтическая линия тоже радует. Тут выбор: хранить верность Джейку или поддаться во все тяжкие, сложно устоять, потому что романтика добавляет динамики хаахахах Спасибо вам за такую игру, я никогда ничего такого не проходила, чтобы меня могло зацепить ## Frequently asked questions about Moonvale ### What is Moonvale: Murder Mystery Game?
