What Moonlighter actually is
You play Will in the village of Rynoka. By night you run procedurally flavored dungeons, stuff a backpack with relics, and try not to die. By day you price those relics in your shop, read customer tells, and plough profits into gear and town upgrades. It is Zelda-adjacent pixel combat glued to a tiny retail sim, and that combo still holds up.
