"A nocturnal farm sim where you're a vampire" is one of the better hooks I've heard lately in a subgenre that's long become overstuffed with too many same-y, saccharine rural community sims. Moonlight Peaks' slightly spooky theme is a welcome twist, but that's where its originality ends, because it struggles to ever turn that concept into a story with any bite.
You play as Dracula's spawn, storming out of Dad's castle to take up farming "cruelcumbers" and "blood tomatoes" at the overgrown family retreat in small town Moonlight Peaks, where families of vampires, witches, seers, and werewolves are mired in years of bickering. There's a whole lot of all-caps dialogue in this town.
