Cheese Moon, a surreal 2D adventure from indie developer and publisher Studio Sott, unveiled an official Steam page today. It reveals the main plot, key mechanics, and a variety of screenshots.
In Cheese Moon, Pio and fellow rabbits must uncover why the moon was turned into cheese. Players will explore a surreal world across 100 stages, summoning rabbit clones with unique abilities to progress. You’ll need to strategically form teams to battle living cheese and mysterious machines.
Cheese Moon doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s currently slated for a 2025 release on the new Steam page. Studio Sott also showed off a new teaser trailer on Twitter:
Cheese Moon is intentionally psychedelic, and there are some elements of dark comedy in the premise. But the visuals are sugary sweet and frantic as a Saturday morning cartoon.
I was instantly drawn to the friendly colors, energy, and boldness in the Steam page trailer. Its strangeness feels more like a childhood dream after falling asleep playing Sonic the Hedgehog, especially given those enemy machines.
The character and level designs look inventive, and also very busy, but the details are easy to tell apart. The enemies have lots of round shapes. The heroes, meanwhile, look absolutely adorable. Earning new rabbit companions should be a delight.
While I hardly expect the range of a roguelite, I do hope to see more complex abilities in the companions than “Mud” in today’s trailer.
The sheer volume of stages does impress me. Hopefully, the content will continue to evolve throughout. Otherwise, the bizarre worlds could potentially blend into indistinguishable noise.
Cheese Moon looks very promising thus far, with cute characters and a bouncy, surprising world. Studio Sott previously developed Hotel Sowls, which was equally surreal in its own way and still has Very Positive Steam reviews.
