If you take a look at the concept art, you can see how it’s similar to the main idea behind UFO: a building divided into different rooms, inhibited by quirky characters. UFO was later published in 1999 by ASCII, an interesting game that somehow mix together point & click adventures, characters and events which follow an internal clock (just like the original Moon, or Zelda: Majora’s mask) and a “photography simulation” somehow similar to Gekibo (PC Engine, 1992) or Pokèmon Snap (N64, 1999). As Moon Worlds hero loots and levels up by cutting down monsters for experience points you know, as heroes do the boy releases their souls and collects their 'Love'. ![]() In the end the project was changed from a sequel to MooN to a different, original adventure: it became “UFO: a Day in the Life”. Concept art and a photo of the early design document were posted on Twitter by former LoveDeLic’s Character Designer Kazuyuki Kurashima in 2017. Moon was their first project and after the game was published by ASCII Entertainment in 1997 for the original Playstation, LoveDeLic pitched a sequel titled MooN 2: Mansion Omnibus Occupant Nest. Unfortunately all of their games were too bizarre and unusual for their time, selling low number of copies and leading to the closure of the team in 2000. They developed cult-classic, peculiar adventures such as Moon: Remix RPG Adventure (PS1), UFO: a Day in the Life (PS1) and Lack of Love (Dreamcast).

Description: Once activated, go to the old mans door and hell call you over to the bathtub (or TNT barrel). One night, under the silvery light of a full moon, a young boy is suddenly sucked through his TV and into a videogame - a classic JRPG called “Moon World”. Until now! During the Japanese Nintendo Direct, Million Onion Hotel developer Onion Games (a group of Love-de-Lic vets!) announced plans to release Moon on Switch October 10 in Japan, with an English translation coming afterward. For more than 20 years, this game was an odd jewel that was difficult to approach since it was only in Japanese.
