Moon: Remix RPG Adventure
Moon: Remix RPG Adventure is a strange and unusual PlayStation game from 1997 that puts a new spin on what a role-playing game could be. Unlike your typical fantasy game where you play the classic hero on an adventure, in Moon you're a boy who has been sucked into a game world. There, the "true" hero is on his own adventure and has left a trail of damage, and you must undo his destruction, restoring order to the slain monsters and ruined environments.
This is a game that is oozing with meta commentary and inverts the traditional conventions of RPGs. After you play this game, you’ll never see RPGs in the same light.
