The Mooseman is a fun adventure game with stunning graphics and a haunting soundtrack that both help to create a gripping and sometimes chilling atmosphere. The main character, from whom the game takes its title, is a mystical shaman inspired by Russian mythology that can see and interact with the spirit.

The Mooseman, what a beautiful indie game this is! It’s a 2D fantasy adventure title that showcases the story of a shaman as he travels through multiple interconnected universes. You are the Mooseman, a mythological being with a curious path ahead.

Such a beautiful atmosphere, it makes you wonder

At a first glance, The Mooseman might seem like a generic artsy game. Although the visuals are not entirely original (, and I am referring to the style), the game has a unique look, and it is beautiful.

After a few seconds into the game, I had my first moment of sheer joy. I say some Kodama, tree spirits from Japanese folklore. Instantly, my thoughts went to Hayao Miyazaki’s masterpiece, Princess Mononoke. I was immediately hooked to the game thinking that this could be inspired from that superb movie. However, to my surprise and continued joy, those were not Kodama, they were part of something else, something much more interesting.

Vladimir Beletsky and Mikhail Shvachko, the developers, have used part of their nation’s culture for inspiration, to be more precise, the ‘perm animal style’. As the Mooseman wonders through the world that lies ahead, you will see more and more examples of this artform that bring so much more mystery and beauty into the game.

The Mooseman is also a silent narrative, what you see and what you hear make up the story. It’s pieced in your mind in silence. It all translates into a wonderful journey.

Simple gameplay mechanics that let you enjoy what’s in front of you

In The Mooseman, the core mechanic is switching from the real world to the spirit one. It’s done with a simple press of a key, and there are only two more for character movement, the left and arrow keys.

It’s all been simplified and to great effect. You won’t jump, or shoot, there isn’t even a crouch key, and you don’t need any of those. The gameplay also counts on you figuring out how various interactions work. What you see in the spiritual world does not exist in reality but it still manifests in a way that allows you to manipulate it to your advantage. The Mooseman is also a gentle puzzle game.

Looking forward to this

I’ve always enjoyed games that focus on the atmosphere and The Mooseman delivers. Not only does it look good, the soundtrack and audio effects are excellent. I can’t find anything that I don’t like about this game. I’m not even upset that the demo is a short one. I’ll patiently wait for its release.

Guide a mythological shaman through a mysterious and dangerous world by switching between the human and spirit realms to solve puzzles or navigate obstacles, in this fun and unique 2D adventure game

The Mooseman is a fun adventure game with stunning graphics and a haunting soundtrack that both help to create a gripping and sometimes chilling atmosphere.

The main character, from whom the game takes its title, is a mystical shaman inspired by Russian mythology that can see and interact with the spirit world. You will have to guide him through a beautifully designed 2D landscape, avoiding dangers along the way by moving between the human and spirit realms.

Beautifully designed world, accompanied by a great soundtrack

For an indie game produced with a supposedly limited budget, The Mooseman does not disappoint from a visual standpoint, with a unique style that fits very well with the game’s overall theme. The constant transitions between the two worlds add more variety, letting you see spirits that inhabit living creatures and other objects whose origin and significance is mysterious and a little bit unsettling.

The game’s soundtrack is equally fitting, creating suspense when it is needed and providing a relaxing backdrop the rest of the time.

Simple gameplay with a unique twist

The game world is a gloomy, desolate place, sparsely populated by creatures that are usually not too friendly and the various obstacles you would expect to find in a platformer game. To fight off potential threats and solve puzzles you have only two tools at your disposal: you can (slowly) move out of the way or switch between the human and spirit world.

You can also collect certain artefacts along the way and check the state of your collection in the in-game menu, although it is not clear at the moment if they serve an additional purpose or are included simply to provide you with a better insight into the game’s lore.

Your game is automatically saved after passing various checkpoints, so you do not have to worry about doing everything all over again when you make a mistake.

Promising game that offers an exciting, but short experience

Sadly, in this early version of the game only a single level is available and, unfortunately, it is not going to keep you entertained for very long. However, more of them are in the works, and it will be exciting to see what the developers can come up with next.

If you are a fan of adventure games that create a gripping atmosphere and include a fair bit of platforming and puzzles, you should give The Mooseman a try. It is relatively short in its current state, but it shows a lot of promise for the future.
