The ''Moonrise'' player begins as a newly bitten werewolf with IdentityAmnesia. The mysterious Alice drags them back to civilization, throwing them into a supernatural war between two political factions. The Masquerade and Rogues fight over the future of the {{Masquerade}}. The player must juggle the factions nipping at their heels, their human past, three burgeoning potential romances, investigating Alice, and surviving lethal encounters with much older vampires and werewolves. Or not! It's a StoryBranching game, so player choice is a priority.
The player can be trans or cis, and use she/her or they/them pronouns. All romances are sapphic, and polyamory and asexual options are available. The player's stats are Empathy, Bloodthirst, Snark, Responsibility, Uncanny Valley, and Defense.

The PlayerCharacter has been bitten into a brand new supernatural underground. Congratulations! It's terrifying and heartwarming all at once. In a game made by a queer woman and for queer women and femme nonbinary folk, this supernatural celebration of queer femininity takes the player into the darkness and lets them own it. They can use their compassion and sense of responsibility to make connections and fall in love. Or use their newfound fangs and claws to rip, shred, and tear through their problems. ''Moonrise'' can be the start of a satisfying, shape-shifting life full of romance, or the blood-soaked birth of a new deity of the forest. The player decides!
* Play as a trans woman, cis woman, or nonbinary person; lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, or asexual.
* Date your nonbinary best friend, the ruthless Rogue leader, or the lycanthropic goddess amongst werewolves.
* Build up your Empathy, Bloodthirst, Snark, Responsibility, Uncanny Valley, and Defense to survive lethal encounters and protect those you hold dear.
* Pledge allegiance to the tradition of the Masquerade or the desperate, volatile Rogues.

* Embrace the feral monster within or hold fast to your humanity.
