Whether it’s a newcomer’s inaugural encounter or a seasoned fan’s nostalgic return, we’re thrilled to unveil our meticulously crafted adventure, Moss: The Forgotten Relic, to the gaming community.
The new compilation unites the original Moss, its sequel, and the Twilight Garden expansion into a single, hand‑crafted fantasy journey on PlayStation 5—now playable without a VR headset. Returning fans will appreciate a fresh perspective on Quill’s realm, while newcomers will meet her for the first time.
To celebrate, we’re releasing a launch trailer that offers a taste of the adventure, peril, and emotion that define Quill’s quest.
From the outset, our goal was to craft a nostalgic fantasy adventure, drawing inspiration from the classic tales and games of our youth, and to explore a question that had never been addressed before.
From the very beginning, the team’s guiding principle was simple yet profound: every design choice must serve a single purpose—immersing players in a living, breathing storybook world. Each handcrafted environmental diorama, every puzzle, encounter, and intimate moment has been meticulously crafted to deepen the bond between the player and the game’s unlikely hero, Quill.
They aimed to strike a delicate balance, encouraging players to feel a protective instinct toward Quill while simultaneously drawing them into her unshakable determination. This dual emotional hook is what makes the journey feel both personal and thrilling.
At the heart of the tale is Quill, a pint-sized mouse whose courage far exceeds the boundaries of her forest settlement. Clever, eager, and untested, she is forever ready to prove herself capable of greatness—an irresistible invitation for players to root for her from the very first encounter.
Everything changes when Quill discovers a long‑lost Green Glass relic, awakening an ancient bond with a mysterious spirit companion—yourself. This pivotal moment not only propels the narrative forward but also forges a direct link between the player and the story’s core conflict.
A single revelation ignites an odyssey that dwarfs all of Quill’s expectations. Together, you venture into the mesmerizing realm of Moss, where the journey promises more than a leisurely stroll through the forest.
Monolithic ruins loom overhead, while forgotten kingdoms crumble into ruin. Enormous beasts, dwarfing Quill, stalk every shadow, and peril lurks at every turn. Each challenge reminds us that heroism demands grit, regardless of stature.
Although she ranks among the tiniest protagonists, Quill’s unwavering faith in a path ahead compels players to champion, aid, and safeguard her throughout the quest.
In this title, you don’t merely command Quill from a distance—you assume the role of the “Reader,” a mysterious presence woven into the world itself, acting as Quill’s vigilant and most trusted guardian.
Throughout your journey with Quill, she turns to you for comfort, shares in your triumphs, seeks your aid, and places her trust in you when the road ahead feels hazy. Her acknowledgment of your presence makes the bond feel strikingly personal.
This partnership goes beyond narrative, weaving itself into the very mechanics of the game. As the Reader, you shape the environment around Quill—moving obstacles, clearing pathways, and confronting looming dangers—to safeguard her at every turn. In return, Quill looks to you for reassurance, celebrates victories alongside you, and even offers a high‑five from time to time.
We’ve always called this bond “Twofold”: two heroes sharing a single adventure. It sits at the emotional core and core design of Moss, and we’re thrilled to bring this intimate connection to a brand‑new audience on PlayStation 5.
With Moss: The Forgotten Relic, we set out to preserve the intimacy, emotion, and sense of connection that have defined Moss, while delivering what we believe is the most polished and cinematic rendition of Quill’s story to date.
