What is Moonlight Peaks?
Moonlight Peaks is a cozy-gothic life sim where you play a vampire — Count Dracula's child — settling into your family's abandoned homestead in a town full of werewolves, witches, mermaids, and other creatures of the night. You grow mystical crops, raise magical livestock, learn spell-casting and potion-making, and befriend — or romance — the locals, all while proving to your skeptical father that a kinder, undead life is possible.
Try the demo before launch
The free demo is the best way to decide if Moonlight Peaks is for you. It lets you test character creation and a handful of cozy activities — fishing, flower arranging, and embroidery among them — plus early interactions with townsfolk. Demo progress does not carry into the full game, but it is a faithful taste of the daily loop.
