The Borrowed Moon

Every hundred years, Greymere lends its moon to the visitors of the Briarwood for seven nights. On the eighth night, the moon is supposed to return. This time, the bells ring, the mirrors break, and the sky stays empty.

As assistant archivist Elian Voss, search for the missing Moonkeeper and uncover where the moon’s light has gone. Seven people now carry its fragments; finding them is only the beginning of deciding what the next bargain should be.

Who you meet

Seven people carry the light. None of them know

The moon failed to return after Greymere's centennial Borrowing. Find its seven living fragments and decide what the moon should become.
