Moonless: Ninja Stealth

Moonless is a turn-based ninja stealth puzzle game. Every time you move, the guards move. Read their sight cones, slip through the gaps and reach the exit unseen.

The night the Shogun's envoy died, the Hidden Plum clan burned for it. Aki, its last ninja, escapes with her blind master's map and a fox spirit only she can see. Five provinces stand between her and the truth.

• 80 hand-picked maps across 5 provinces: Plum Village, the Bamboo Sea, Kawabe River Town, Mount Kurama and Ishida Castle
• 5 boss duels: a rival ninja, a bamboo oni, a river frog, a tengu and Lord Ishida in his war armor
• 12 tools: stones, smoke bombs, meat bait, caltrops, a grappling hook, a straw decoy, a disguise, a blowpipe, firecrackers, a lockpick, a breathing reed and kunai
• 10 kinds of watchers: sentries, patrols, hounds that smell you, sleepers, crows, lantern bearers, monks that hear you, archers on towers, runners and captains
• Three stars on every map: Ghost (take no one down), Blade (take everyone down) and Swift (beat the move limit)
• A hidden scroll on every map. Spend scrolls in the hideout on training and outfits
• A new Daily Infiltration map every day, with streak rewards
• Fox Hints from Kitsu when you are stuck, proven by a solver: every map and every star can be done

No reflexes needed: think, then move. Short maps, perfect for one to three minutes.

The moon is gone. Move when they look away.
