RPGs and dungeon crawlers often leave players with plenty of unneeded loot but the Moonlighter indie game gives them a chance to sell off these items as they run a store by day and skulk around dungeons at night. Players in the Moonlighter indie game will take control of a character known as Will. Will is motivated to be a hero and solve the mysteries of the dungeons and players will have to control him through these adventures.
Acquiring items in the game to sell will not be an easy venture as a limited bag, will have players constantly managing their inventory. Certain items will also feature a curse and will need to either be discarded or uncursed by a professional. This concept of gathering and selling gear in the Moonlighter indie game will play heavily into the dungeon -exploring and will dictate how difficult or easy future adventures will be.
