Publisher XSEED Games and developer Little Chicken Game Company have announced that Moonlight Peaks has surpassed 200,000 copies sold — a strong showing for the vampire farming sim that launched earlier this month.
The game was released on July 7th for Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and Google Play Games. It’s been quietly climbing the charts ever since, proving that the cozy life-sim genre has plenty of room for fangs, spells, and the undead.
What Is Moonlight Peaks?
Sometimes you look in the mirror and know it’s time for a change — even if you can’t see your own reflection. Life as a vampire is hard enough, but it’s even harder when your father is Count Dracula and he expects you to carry on his dark legacy. But you have a different dream: a life of compassion, creativity, and maybe a little bit of farming. So you pack your coffin and set off to your family’s abandoned homestead in the supernatural town of Moonlight Peaks.
It’s the perfect place to step out of your father’s shadow, cultivate a magical garden, and prove that the undead can still live a wholesome life.
Key Features
Live! A Sweet and Spooky Journey – Customize the perfect vampire persona and build relationships with the people of Moonlight Peaks to learn more about the town’s history. Uncover the secrets of the seven families who dwell there — and maybe even find “tomb” love from any of the two dozen romanceable characters in the process.
Run! A Farm Full of Magic Crops and Livestock – Design a custom cozy gothic homestead, turning a forgotten farm into the ideal sanctuary. Obtain new tools and develop the property to grow even more enchanted crops and raise magical livestock.
Behold! Mythical Powers You Can Wield – Embrace a supernatural lineage! Shapeshift into other forms to explore all the town has to offer, and study witchcraft to learn spells that will help on the farm or when gathering resources.
Beware! Delightfully Dark Diversions – Beyond the farm, enjoy fishing, foraging, and potion-crafting, along with activities like embroidering, flower arranging, and more. Players can even collect cards for the town’s favorite game, Nokturna, to play against other residents.
A Cozy Hit in the Making
With 200,000 copies sold in its opening weeks, Moonlight Peaks is off to a strong start. The game’s blend of cozy farming mechanics, supernatural charm, and quirky vampire lore has clearly resonated with players looking for something a little different from the usual life-sim fare.
Whether you’re in it for the romance, the farming, or the chance to prove your vampire dad wrong, Moonlight Peaks is shaping up to be one of the year’s most delightful surprises.
If you haven’t already, grab your coffin and head to Moonlight Peaks — the harvest isn’t going to reap itself.
