If you've always yearned to try out our adventure roleplaying game Driftmoon before buying, you might have waited for ten years now! To ease your misery, we've decided to release a demo version of Driftmoon on Steam. It will allow you to discover the bizarre turn of events in your home village, play through a good few quests, and journey your way all the way to the end of the first exciting dungeon (probably around 45-90 minutes). AND: To top it all, you get to meet Blotch the Crabby Pirate, Quan Sixfingers, someone who's better yet left unnamed, and the enchanted light-in-the-dark Fizz! Actually, you do come accross a bunch of other notable Driftmoonian personas too, but surprisingly some of them have gotten themselves into a decidedly non-talking state. So go ahead, light up your torch, and head on over to the colorful world of Driftmoon! (Tip: You can continue the main game from your demo save)

Hi everyone! Driftmoon has been updated. The reason is our daughter Laura played the game almost to the very end, learning a difficult new language, and very much wanted to see the game her parents had made. Unfortunately she found out that just before the end of the game all her companions had gone missing, and the game was unsolvable without them. Turns out that it was possible to leave all your companions behind in the warehouse in the docks region, if you quick traveled out of there using the world map. I believe the problem has been there for well over 11 years now, but it's finally fixed. We're very sorry about the bug Laura, thank you for pointing it out! Here's the changelog:

• Fixed companions going missing when quick traveling from the Nomon Docs warehouse.
• The little box companion is now unkillable.
• No longer possible to drop to lava from the end game fortress.
• Fix being able to quick travel out of the locked tavern at Northrop.

• Fixed mystery box bug.
• Fix the trapped fly escaping before the player met him near the end fortress.
• Fixed Bill sometimes dying from explosion near the end fortress.
• Fixed Mother Wolf getting killed before the player met her.
• Various minor bugs and fixes.

Hi! This is Ville and Anne, the developers of Driftmoon. The time for releasing Driftmoon - the Enchanted edition - on multiple platforms is finally here, yay! We've had a ton of requests about getting Driftmoon on more platforms. Initially we started work on the Enchanted version right back in 2013 when the first version of Driftmoon was released, until life put a temporary stop to our plans (kids, illnesses, money issues, etc). But we never gave up on our dream of finishing the Enchanted version of Driftmoon. Finally, a year ago we had a chance to resume work on Driftmoon again, and we've worked nonstop ever since. For seven years you've been sending us countless encouraging messages, and also tips on how to improve Driftmoon, so happily we haven't run out of encouragement, or of ideas on what to do. Thanks everyone! What's new compared to the old Driftmoon?

• Driftmoon now runs on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.
• We've added the Mystery Box, full of surprises for both you and your friends! :)
• Major graphics update: better textures to look better on modern screens, lightmapped shadows, the lot!
• User interface scales better: from your smallest screen to your living room TV. (still including the possibility to adjust text size)
• Updated user interface, easier to use and looks better.
• New characters, items and skills (through the Mystery Box and elsewhere too)
• Tons of bugfixes, dialogue fixes, quest fixes and improvements.
• Improved music, with an extra melody. All music by Gareth Meek - Thank you again, Gareth!
• Gameplay enhancements: quest reminders, Silver feather counter (very useful!), and more.
• The possibility to recover from a broken save (not that likely, but if your disk was full or something).
• And more surprises! Because we most probably forgot to mention everything. :)

If you'd like to see how the old version plays, or are just feeling nostalgic, we made sure you can still access the vanilla Driftmoon. Open the Steam game properties window (right click on Driftmoon name in Steam client), go to the betas tab, and select vanilladriftmoon. Both versions have separate save games, so you don't need to worry about getting them mixed up. For the techinally minded among us, we've ported the old C++ Driftmoon to C# on the Unity platform. We think it was a good choice, although it was a huge amount of work. What's next for Ville and Anne? Now that Driftmoon is finished, we're hoping to make enough money from it to finally get the chance to focus full-time on making our own games. We already have a list of game ideas some 500 ideas long, but we've narrowed our next pick to two top candidates that sound the most tempting. We really hope you have fun playing! If you find any problems, please tell us. The easiest way to give us feedback is through the feedback button in the game menu. And most of all, we want to wish all of you good physical and mental health amidst this strange korona struggle that the world is currently going through. Stay safe!

Driftmoon is Now Available on Steam and 30% off.*

The beautiful, enchanted world of Driftmoon trembles in the shadow of a forgotten evil, for the dark King Ixal is again gathering his forces.

Hope lies in an unlikely alliance: A young man joins forces with a little firefly dreaming of stardom, a panther queen with the ego of a moon whale, and a very determined fellow who's lost everything but his bones, and still hasn't given up. Knowing nothing of the amazing adventures and the fearsome foes that await them, the party embarks on a journey like no other.

Driftmoon is an adventure-roleplaying game, full of exploration, smiles and surprises, captivating stories and quests, charming characters, and countless delightful details.

*Offer ends January 10th at 10AM Pacific Time.
