Walkthrough/Playthrough/Let's Play
Description:
Lunita is the next-in-line to become Merryday Village's Oracle, but she's severely lacking in motivation. During the Crescent Festival, the wicked Count Chroma attacks the village in order to claim a mysterious moon stone. Unfortunately, we will never see him get his comeuppance, since development was cancelled after the first chapter.

0:00 Title
0:49 Prologue
This takes place in the future, where Lunita, Amos, Rain, and Maru are raiding Count Chroma's ship. However, you only get to control Lunita, who is strong enough to stomp all the robot minions anyways.
4:55 Mysterious Ball
In a dream, a mysterious ball speaks to Lunita and asks her birthday. I chose the most common Steam birthday, lol.
6:51 Merryday Village
Lunita oversleeps on a non-school day, but her mom Astrid ropes her into helping with the Crescent Festival anyways.
This is the first true appearance of Minister Orange, who runs a shop in the village and is one of the festival's lead organizers.
When helping him look through his box of stuff, Lunita pulls a balloon out, but the baloon is alive and angry.
17:03 Miniboss: Flayt
17:40 Merryday Village
A putty pup steals the Summoning Rod needed for the festival. As you chase them to a storage building, you run into a robot man who vaguely resembles Lumen. He's looking for a stone with a moon engraving.
25:00 Storage Building
The only way to enter is through a small hole that the pup used, but a box inconveniently falls afterwards to prevent Lunita from leaving.
Dungeons have random encounters like in BHY and Soma Union. If you're overleveled, you can cancel encounters.
32:19 Miniboss: Laundro
When Laundro closes their lid, they become vulnerable to Star damage.
33:47 Storage Building
Afterwards, Lunita learns her first water spell.
Flayt explains moon phases to you. It's similar to what Nova, Klieg, and Fluoros used in Soma Union, since Crescent Prism is their home game.
The moon door opens for Lunita, likely because she's the next Oracle. Inside, she finds the moon stone, the putty pup, and an aggressive scorpion.
43:04 Boss: Scorchpion
During the full moon, Scorchpion is invincible, but they become weakened if you use Lunita to skip to the next phase. However, Scorchpion can also cast an Astra skill that changes the moon to full.
The putty pup is controllable, unlike the cat blob from Astra Hunter Zosma. They also have very high physical stats and a party ATK buff. They truly feel like a full-fledged party member.
46:54 Storage Building
Scorchpion closes and locks the door as they die out of spite. You get to name the pup, and the default name is Maru, which is used in Astra Hunter Zosma's superboss fight.
Maru can stretch far enough to enable usage of the green arrow pads, but the red ones signify gaps that are too far for Maru.
52:11 Merryday Village
Minister Orange found the key to the storage building.
The robot from earlier asks for the stone, but the ball of light warns us not to trust him. The robot reveals his true colors as Count Chroma and transforms into a more menacing form. However, he retreats when he realizes Astrid is coming.
55:31 Chroma's Ship
Chroma kills a minion for being too slow to do something. He also has five other moon stones of different colors, and the purple one we have is his target.
56:56 Merryday Village
Lunita won't tell anyone about Chroma for some reason, even though this seems like urgent news. This is going to result in everyone dying for sure. This is a fkup on the same level as Rowan from Rise of the Third Power, lol.
