Moonlight Peaks: Everything We Know Before Launch

If you’ve been waiting for a farming sim with a little more bite, Moonlight Peaks is the one to watch. It takes the comfortable rhythm of a cozy life-sim — plant, tend, befriend, repeat — and pours it into a supernatural town where you play a vampire and the neighbours are werewolves, witches and mermaids. This page is our running summary of what’s actually confirmed, kept deliberately separate from the things players are still guessing at.

The pitch in one line

You’re a young vampire who leaves the city behind and moves into a creaky family cottage in a sleepy mountain town. By night you work a glowing farm, study magic, and slowly get to know the townsfolk — some of whom you can fall for. The developers at Little Chicken Game Company have leaned into the comparison to Stardew Valley, and it’s a fair shorthand: same gentle loop, very different wardrobe.

What you actually do

A few systems are confirmed and form the backbone of the game:

• Farm by moonlight. You grow enchanted crops and luminous flowers, and you can use magic — including a watering can that pours itself — to keep everything thriving.
• Raise magical livestock. The town’s barnyard animals include the wonderfully named Draculambs, alongside other mystical creatures. You can even keep a three-eyed Hellkitten as a pet.
• Learn witchcraft. Local witches teach you spells that help around the farm and while gathering, and you brew potions — including an “Alter Ego Elixir” that changes your appearance.
• Shapeshift. Turn into a bat to get around town quickly after dark, with other forms hinted at.
• Live cozily. Fishing, foraging, embroidery, flower arranging and the town’s favourite card game, Nokturna, round out the slower pleasures.

For the full breakdown, start with our beginner tips and the farming and enchanted crops guide.

Romance and the seven families

A big part of the draw is the cast. Coverage has cited anywhere from 15 to two dozen romanceable characters, with the developers saying that roster may grow over time. Character models are intentionally gender-neutral so you can romance anyone regardless of how you build your own vampire. Woven through it all are seven families whose histories — and secrets — you gradually uncover. We track them on the Seven Families page and profile the cast in the characters codex.

Release, platforms and the demo

Moonlight Peaks launches July 7, 2026 on PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and Android (Google Play Games), with XSEED Games publishing in the Americas and Marvelous Europe in Europe. A free demo arrived in June 2026 so you can try it now. The full details live in our release date and platforms guide.

What’s still unconfirmed

Plenty. Exact crop and fish lists, the named cast of romance options, how relationship and marriage systems fully work, co-op/multiplayer, and the shape of the late game are all things we’re watching for. Where this wiki states something that isn’t nailed down, we’ll mark it expected or reportedly — and we’ll update these pages as the developers reveal more and as the launch build lands.
