Source-based research, not a hands-on playtest. Platform listings, the developer page and indexed reference material are separated below; where marketing says five tales but the guide structure uses six chapter cards, this page preserves both claims instead of inventing a mapping.
Fact card
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Developer | MoonHood (Gothenburg) |

| Age rating | PS5: ESRB E10+, Fantasy Violence. Ratings are platform/region-specific. |
| Price | Dynamic; use the platform store listing rather than a stale number |
| Demo | No demo was located in the checked store listings; this is not a permanent no-demo claim |
Platforms and VR
MoonHood's games page lists the principal releases, while the Steam, PlayStation and Nintendo listings provide platform-specific availability. VR is optional on PS5 and PC; the Switch 2 listing is a flat-screen release. Subscription catalogues and prices change, so this page does not freeze a current inclusion or price into a permanent fact.
Scores and awards
- IGN: 9/10, Editors' Choice. The reviewer spent about 7–8 hours.
- Review scores and Steam review percentages are snapshots, not stable game facts; consult the linked outlets for current totals.
- Awards reported in the reference dossier include The Game Awards 2025 Best VR/AR and Steam Awards 2025 VR Game of the Year; this page does not treat the dossier as an official awards archive.
OpenCritic's recommendation rate and score are different metrics, so they should not be compared as if they were the same number.
