What is Crimson Moon?
Crimson Moon is a gothic third-person action-adventure RPG developed and published by ProbablyMonsters. You play a Nephilim, a human-angel hybrid fighting demons, undead, vampires, Hellgrowth abominations, and the Dead Gods across the fallen city of Gildenarch.
Its core loop combines replayable mission runs, melee combat, loot, evolving supernatural abilities, skill achievements, and dynamic difficulty. Between runs, the Church acts as a sanctuary where you upgrade equipment, meet NPCs, and plan missions at the War Table before heading out solo or with one co-op partner.
