Evaluation

MOOD launched on March 23, 2025 after three years of development. Following launch, the developer shipped two small patches in March and April 2025 to fix bugs and polish the experience. On December 6, 2025, a "Winter Update" arrived with visual touch-ups and dialogue refinements — the most recent developer communication. That same post announced the MOOD Complete Bundle, which packages the base game with the two supplementary items available for purchase: the Soundtrack (released November 29, 2025) and the Digital Artbook (released December 2, 2025). Both of these are cosmetic/companion releases rather than story or gameplay content. The store description and all available evidence describe MOOD as a self-contained visual novel — there are no announced expansions, no unreleased DLC entries, no roadmap, and no post-launch major content updates beyond visual polish. The developer has not communicated any plans for additional content after the Winter Update in December 2025. The game appears to have shipped as a complete experience and reached its final state as of December 6, 2025.

About this game

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀▓▓▓▓▓

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

MOOD is a gloomy, philosophically-walking visual novel beyond it's genre. The player will meet a girl and take a walk with her through the backstreets of a decaying city. Ask the right questions, listen to your interlocutor and find the truth in the dialogues. Nothing bad will happen, we promise.                                                                                            ⠀▓▓

                                                                                                                                            ⠀▓▓▓▓▓

EVERY CHOICE IS WRONG.

The game doesn't have “right” endings or choices. A good intention can turn out to be a bad one in the future, just as a bad deed can turn out to be the safest. Make choices with your heart, show her the real you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀▓▓▓▓▓
Did we mention that every choice affects the environment? Oops…

GLOOMY SURROUNDINGS.

Clouds overhead and dirty snow underfoot. The game's locations reflect the realities of provincial post-CIS cities. Our story begins in one of them. Not the most cheerful landscape, is it?
Every scene is inspired by real-life streets.

GAME FEATURES:

  • A unique visual style done in the “dirty” shades of a winter city.

  • Melancholic and gloomy soundtrack, in the genres of Dark Ambient, Post-punk and Witch House.

  • 4k artwork.

  • Locations tell their own story, just look closely.

  • An environment that changes depending on "darkness" scale.

  • Tons of undertone for the riddle enjoyers.

  • New content on re-runs.

  • ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

  • You can steal beer and smoke cigarettes! Lots of cigarettes!

  • Hand-drawn art. No AI.
