Moth Lake: A Horror Story
July 12, 2024
More About Moth Lake: A Horror Story
a small town that, behind its peaceful facade, hides a terrible secret.
Only a group of teenagers, with a difficult life, will reveal what has been hidden for generations.
Mysterious events will intensify starting from the eve of a solar eclipse,
and our young friends will start a journey into the shadow and into their own soul.
What to expect from this game:
In short:
•2.5D pixel art (Frame to frame animations, as if we are still in '90s)
• Simple controls (Supporting touch screen, mouse, keyboard and controllers)
• Unconventional puzzles (Don't worry, there's a free walkthrough if you need help!)
• Stealth-action
• Choices that will change the bonds between the characters as well as the spirit of the experience (Just like in life, a choice can make the difference between friendship, love, hate, life or death)
• Thrills, suspense and horror (Not a survival game, but it can be creepy or scary at times)
• Bad humor and strong language (They are teenagers, don't judge them)
• At some point this experience might even move you to tear (I'm not crying, I just got a pixel in my eye)
• 6 different endings
• A soundtrack that is original, suggestive, and exciting
In detail:
Moth Lake is a story-driven experience, with a lot of textual contents (more than 20k words), and hundreds of different scenes (more than 300 scenarios).
The script is a long journey through a mystery, through horrors and through the characters hearts.
It contains dark topics and very sad stuff, but also a lot of non-sense jokes and weird conversations, so it's hard to say whether it is a horror game or not.
The main characters move around a 2.5D world, interacting with many hotspots and NPCs.
They can pull objects and perform a set of specific actions to solve very different puzzles.
The artwork is a modern pixel art, with a big colour palette and a lot of frame-to-frame animations.
There's a very large set of animations, including talking, walking, running, crouching, crawling, pushing, climbing, sneaking, punching, throwing... and much more.
Scenarios have some modern lighting/shading work, with particles effects and a constant use of parallax, to simulate a 3D environment.
There are 6 main characters and more than 50 NPCs, with their own look and personality. You can control 7 characters through the main story and more in the additional chapters.
They all move their eyes, they change facial expressions, and they have some peculiar behaviours.
As the story proceeds, the player has to take some choices, affecting the characters mood and sometimes even the plot.
Characters with a good mood are always smiling, they perform funny idle animations and they help each other.
On the other hand, characters with a bad mood show an angry face, they insult their friends and they are generally edgy and selfish.
The general mood can even unlock hidden scenes, and personally I would play this game multiple times just to see these little details.
For most of the time the player controls a character surrounded by his/her friends.
Each one has some kind of skill to be used at the right moment, and sometimes even their personality will be important to solve a puzzle.
Some puzzles can be solved by a single character, while other must be solved using the whole squad cooperation.
As I said, the game aims to give psychological horror vibes.
So keep in mind that this game is not for everyone! Some scenes are disturbing, some scenes may give you anxiety, and some other scenes are extremely sad.
Characters are constantly called to face their difficult past, and to go through their scary present.
They need to hide, to take terrible decisions and sometimes even to fight for their lives.
...But after all, your choices can lead you to the best possible ending, and if you fail, you can always try again.

Awesome Fun. Great puzzles, scary monsters, funny, and difficult in all the right ways. Chose your difficulty level out of 4. Just a Joy to play. Hopefully a part 2 will be forthcoming.

The game is fun and the story is cool. The controls take some getting used to but one issue is it's difficult sometimes to figure out what you're supposed to do in some parts like with the grandma and you're constantly going back and forth to the walk through.

i was not expecting much going into it i admit but this game turned me around really quick. From the first mission it had puzzles, stealth and horror elements i was not expecting from a side scroller. There are adds but there few and far between. This is a great game with relarable characters.

Great game but there seems to be a bug in the library. The part where the brown haired girl is the one to go on to the next room takes me back to the beginning. I watched your walkthrough and it still doesn't work even when I did what you did. Please fix this

This looked interesting at first when I first saw it but after I played it I'm not fully done but this game is a masterpiece sometimes I needed to use the walkthrough but after I saw that nightmare part that was kind of sad song but this is such an amazing game and you could choose your own level of difficulty and I have been looking for good horror games and this one is flawless this is an amazing game

I didn't expect this game to be sooo goodd!! When I first downloaded it I thought it was boring and kind of dropped it but when I gave it a second try I started to love it! I love the story of each character and how each one of them had a traumatic experience or memory and how they overcome it by accepting things. 💓 And also their conversations are so funny. Alsoo the game itself is so goodd. The sound effects, the puzzles. Some parts are so scary I thought I'm gonna have a heart attack haha

I love this game, even tho the puzzles were hard and I had to go to YouTube every second to do a puzzle 😅 but what was weird is how I can move and talk when no one is chasing me, but when i move and click on something and the monsters are chasing me I cant move? Like I was literally stuck there it was like the character was trapped. But this is a good game! I hope you make more games in the future. I'll definitely play them all!

Topnotch game. I had fun beginning to end, love the old style pixel graphic. The dialogue is incredible, realistic and funny. Dialogue is a big thing for me bc not many get it right, or try too hard to be funny. This one its just natural & really feels like a few 2023 teens in a horror game. Puzzles are enjoyable & it was the main call to me since I love puzzlers. I *didn't* like the trial & error puzzles & some environmental puzzles weren't logical, but good jumpscares, A+ music & plenty scary

Genuinely such a fun and well done game. Creepy, intriguing, challenging and so enjoyable. Some of the puzzles were incredibly difficult but on the menu there's an option for a walk through where it pulls up a YouTube video that shows you how to do it (so if you get stuck one one puzzle for days like me - giving up is always an option)

Wish I could give it more than 5 stars. It's delightfully creepy without resorting to excessive gore or jumpscare. It's funny and breaks stereotypes and is all-around enjoyable to play. Ads really aren't a problem for the quality of game-play and how infrequent they are. Also the puzzles aren't too difficult and pre-timestamped walkthroughs are always accessible.

Amazing game. Each character is well designed and the character development is amazing. The art style is amazing and perfectly combines the feel of fantasy, horror, and point and click games all in one. The monsters were terrifying. Also loved the way this story dove deep into the fears of six average teenagers and then dealing with Greg and loss. Wonderful story, wonderful style. I have nothing bad to say about this game. I hope to see more games from this developer in the future.

I love Sui arts, I really enjoyed dentures and demons 1&2. So far, Moth lake is great. I do have an issue with the grims part though. The controls are quite unreliable when you keep your finger on the screen for moving, but when you swipe down and up for crouching, it doesn't register. The art and dialog is wonderful so far, I'm really enjoying it. I hope you continue to make more games in the future! Love yall's work! Edit: I fixed it! 5 stars!! I'll be recommending this to everyone I know!!❤️❤

I love this game so much!! It's got to be the best puzzle adventure game I've ever played, the graphics, dialogue, and characters are all amazing. The puzzles are hard, yes, and I did have to watch the walkthrough many times but it's still amazing and I love the story and everything this game has to offer. I also really love how the game focuses on teenagers who are dealing with the fear to lose or losing someone close to them. Definitely deserves a high rating, keep being amazing Sui Arts <3

It seems like a very good game, i played the first chapter and while I was a little confused on what the controls were it was pretty easy to get the hang of. One thing I will say is I had to use the walkthrough alot, the game has this really cool thing where you can click on the walkthrough and it takes you to a youtube video almost exactly where your at in the game, i think thats a great feature i just wish i didnt have to use it every other scenario.

Amazing plot, I really love how you can play as different characters And have to complete these different missions to get through to the next part The sound is wonderful And it is like the perfect light horror game to play when your bored. My only complaint is that it needs hints or something It's hard to tell what your supposed to do in some of the parts.
