Moonlight Peaks beginner guide

What we know so far, gathered from the demo and official trailers. On July 7, 2026 this becomes a full day-one walkthrough with exact numbers. Updated June 22, 2026.

The core loop

You inherit a run-down family homestead and rebuild it into a cozy-gothic farm. Days revolve around tending mystical crops, raising magical livestock, and using magic — controlled watering cans and spells — to work the land. Unusually for the genre, farming leans into the night, which suits your vampire lifestyle.

What you'll be doing

  • Farming & livestock — grow enchanted crops and raise creatures unique to the town.
  • Spells & potions — study witchcraft to help on the farm and when gathering.
  • Fishing & foraging — classic cozy gathering, with a supernatural twist.
  • Cooking — turn your harvest into meals and brews.
  • Embroidery & flower arranging — slower hobby activities, shown in the demo.
  • Nokturna — collect cards and play the town's favorite game against residents.
  • Home design — decorate a gothic cottage and develop your property.

Being a vampire

Your lineage is a toolkit, not just a theme. You can shapeshift — turning into a bat to move quickly around town — and unlock ancient abilities as you progress. The town is built for it: many residents are supernatural too, so you blend right in.

The town & its people

Moonlight Peaks is home to seven families across humans and creatures of the night — werewolves, witches, mermaids, and more, with Death himself among the notable characters. Befriending and romancing them is a central pillar; our romance & families entry will track every candidate and their gift preferences at launch.

Pre-launch entry. Exact crop prices, fish lists, gift tables, and cheat commands aren't knowable until the full game ships on July 7, 2026 — we'll fill them in fast. Spot something to add? Email hello@moonlitalmanac.example.com.
