The year is 1999. Kaida’s father disappeared fifteen years ago, and now, all of the sudden, Kaida receives a letter from Athemys, urging him to visit the Portland Mansion, where his father was seen for the last time. Fay, a young girl, awakes at the same place. She has no clue where she is, but she feels it has something to do with her past, a door she has been keeping shut for too long.
After Dark: Under the Moon Light is the second top-down anime-styled RPG in the After Dark series. You can play as Kaida or Fay. The gameplay and levels stay the same, but there are a few plot twists. Kaida carries a mythril sword for regulars attacks, and Fay can attack using her lamp. Each character also has a distinct move: Kay can dash while Fay can toggle a walk/run mode to get out of difficult situations quickly. During the quest, the characters meet each other, and you have to search the mansion and the underground while solving puzzles. This involves looking for keys, and collecting coins, spirit stones and other items. There are also new weapons to be found, such as a blood sword for Kaida, and a magical bow for Fay.
Items are stored in a separate screen, and you can collect health kits and special abilities such as invisibility or slowing down time. Different weapons can be equipped with specifications based on “Speed”, “Attack” and “Defense”. Opponents include witches, flying skulls, ghosts and monsters, and there also a few NPCs you can talk too, with conversations shown in a dialogue window with a portrait. A save option is available.
