The official synopsis reads: "On one fateful autumn evening, the Moon, source of all magic and spiritual power, does not rise over Mercuria. Your course is clear. You must set out alone or with the other chosen children of the Moon to solve the mystery and restore balance."
"The team is really eager to show off what we've been working on and get more input from the community," commented Tanya Short, designer on Moon Hunters. "Collective has helped us find our audience for a mythology-building RPG, getting the word out about this beautiful game we're trying to make."

"Moon Hunters caught my eye very early on with its great visual style and design bursting with personality - and gamers echoed that with strong support during the game's feedback campaign," added Phil Elliott, project lead at Collective. "Since getting to know the team at Kitfox Games over the past 9 months, we're really happy to be supporting them through their Kickstarter - we've learnt a great deal since Collective launched fully in April, and we'll put all of that experience into this campaign and help the team get the best result they can."
This is a great initiative from Square Enix, helping games get funded based on what people actually would like to see happen, and Moon Hunters certainly looks like the original type of game one would hope such a collective would spawn!
