Moon: Remix RPG Adventure

"Moon begins with the protagonist, a small boy, playing a new role-playing game (RPG) called "Moon" (a.k.a. "Fake Moon") on his "Gamestation". The game begins with the player controlling the Hero of Fake Moon in a 10-minute game-within-a-game, Fake Moon being something of a parody of Japanese RPGs (JRPGs) of the 16-bit era. Convoluted JRPG stories are skewered by the minutes of a nonsensical backstory, which Boy skips through before the player can read it. Queen Aphrodite has been abducted and taken to the moon. The perpetrator, Dragon, will wreak millions of calamitous years upon the people of Love-De-Gard with her power. Yet, the people have produced a hero who must travel to Dragon Castle and destroy the beast. After playing through a few typical RPG scenes (random battles, an airship sequence, etc.), the boy is ordered by his mother to go to bed and obediently does so. However, the television on which he was just playing Fake Moon switches back on by itself, and the boy is sucked into the world of Moon, a land called "Love-de-Gard". Its people and its story resembles Fake Moon's."

Moon Remix RPG was a game that I kind of wound up getting into on the fringes with the surge of the Undertale fandom when it came out as a piece of trivia.

Mostly was fascinated by the game and wanted to know more about it, only really being held back by the fact that it was a pretty niche game in the Japanese market as it stood, so there wasn’t a whole lot of information out there about it, let alone any that got translated and made it to the English speaking side of the internet.

I was super excited when the English translation finally came out, and I had a whole time with it, much moreso even than undertale. It had a profound effect on me and I still think about that game a lot.

I really do think most people if they're willing to keep an open mind and are willing to play a strange little game should give this game a try.
