PC Hand-Drawn 2D Survival Horror Game Announced for Consoles

An indie survival horror title, Moonlight Pale, has garnered significant attention and support, evolving from a PC-exclusive project to a multi-platform release. The game’s developers have announced that due to overwhelming pre-order demand, they will be bringing the title to consoles, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Moonlight Pale Reaches Console Port and Physical Edition Stretch Goals

Originally conceived as a crowdfunded PC game, Moonlight Pale quickly surpassed its initial Kickstarter goal of ,566, amassing over ,000 in funding. This success has allowed the team to unlock several exciting stretch goals, including the much-anticipated console ports.

The developers have also revealed plans for a physical edition of the game for both the PS5 and Nintendo Switch, a delightful surprise for fans eager to own a tangible copy of the title. With the addition of new pledges and customizable add-ons, backers now have the opportunity to enhance their support and tailor their orders to include these new offerings.

For those unfamiliar with the project, Moonlight Pale is a 2D hand-drawn survival horror game set in a late 1800s female seminary. Players will step into the shoes of Juliette, a student at St. Birgitta’s Female Seminary, as she embarks on a haunting journey following the ghost of her deceased cat into an abandoned building nestled within the seminary’s gardens. As she navigates through the eerie corridors, Juliette must confront various monsters and apparitions while striving to assist her fellow students trapped within.

Development of Moonlight Pale commenced in December 2025, and updates indicate that the foundational systems have been programmed, the full script is complete, and voice lines for the first two chapters have been recorded. The development team, Blue Lily, consists of duo Ao Clover, an independent illustrator and animator, and Cachi Cordova, who handles programming and design.

With the project now exceeding its initial goals, anticipation builds for the next stages of development and the eventual release of Moonlight Pale. The team aims for a launch window between Q4 2026 and Q1 2027, with the Kickstarter campaign concluding on July 4, 2026, at 5:57 PM ET. Enthusiasts are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates on this promising indie title and its journey to gamers’ hands.
