    As long as you come in with the expectation of a short, non-linear storytelling experience then you won’t be let down by The Moon Sliver. It’s a bit creepy, sad and ultimately quite compelling.

    The Moon Sliver is there for you if you’re in the mood for a brooding, slow-burn thriller with nothing to offer but loneliness--and an empty feeling pushing you towards a conclusion you know you don’t want to be a part of.

It playsA short narrative game that allows for free exploration and discovery. There is no real objective other than to uncover the story. It plays out in a few short sections that can last between 10 - 20 minutes. The scenery will change and that will be your notification that the game has moved forward. The controls are as responsive as you will need them to be.
    The visuals in this game are acceptable for what this game is. It does enough and purely enough, nothing flashy or special. The issue I had was that the writing gave me a different sense in this game from what the visuals sometimes portray. A few scenes will reach out and touch you in a visual sense but they are the exceptions.
    I did enjoy the soundtrack. It is the majority of where the ambient mood comes from. It will help you when you begin to feel disconnected from the visuals.
    The writing and the story are done well and with a certain emotion that makes up for the vagueness. The metaphysical journey it takes you on is filled with a certain trepidation, wonder, and confusion. It is a fantastic enjoyable tale.
    The mechanics are a little clunky as the text you are meant to read will sometimes overlap making it impossible to read. The point and click also has the potential to annoy and distract from the other excellent portions of the game.
    The game can potentially be replayed to gather more intrigue into the story and nature of the surreal place and its inhabitants. An excellent way to kill an hour getting lost in a story that has the proper amount of vagueness to get your imagination rolling.

The story is very good and it has a great atmosphere, slowly building to the scary climax. Some minor flaws (ugly text font, look movement too fast) don't undermine this intense, gloomy experience.
