About Moonlit Fable
Moonlit Fable is a turn-based card battler set inside a paper-theatre storybook. Guide Wren the young lamplighter and her fox spirit through three nights, choosing one of three story pages at a time: fights, elite foes, mysterious events, a peddler's cart, campfires and hidden chests. The moon waxes every turn, and at Full Moon your foes grow fierce while your Moon cards unleash their bonus.
Guide Wren the young lamplighter and her fox spirit through a paper-theatre storybook forest over three nights, battling paper-cut fairy-tale creatures with a deck of cards while a waxing moon dial turns every fight toward a dangerous, empowering Full Moon.

💡 Tips & tricks
- Watch the dial under the moon: the turn it says Full Moon, every foe hits 50% harder, so stock up on Block or veil the moon with Cloud Veil first.
- Moon cards like Silver Arrow and Lunar Tide get a big Full Moon bonus, so save them for that turn or use Call the Tide to bring it sooner.
- Burn ticks at the start of a foe's turn; Kindle doubles it, so stack Burn before you play it.
- Your HP carries over between pages. Choose a Campfire when you are low, and trim weak starter cards at the Peddler.

Moonlit Fable FAQ
What happens at Full Moon?
Every fifth phase of the moon is Full. On that turn foes are Moonstruck and deal 50% more attack damage, some foes switch to a stronger move, and your Moon cards trigger their Full Moon bonus. Cloud Veil, Call the Tide and Eclipse change the moon.
How is the score counted?
You get 50 points for every story page you clear, 500 points for every boss you defeat, plus all the gold you are holding.
Can I continue after Wren's HP runs out?
Once per run you can watch an optional ad for a Second Dawn that heals Wren to half HP and continues the same fight.
