A Legend Is Born: Twilight Moonflower Features 30-Minute Ending Credits Honoring a Developer’s Promise
A Legend Is Born: The 30-Minute Ending Credits of Twilight Moonflower
Promises made by politicians are often questioned, especially during times when public trust is fragile. On social media, promises are also frequently dismissed as marketing tactics or promotional talk. However, Twilight Moonflower proves that when it comes to game developers, a promise can be something real and unbreakable.
From a Small Concern to an Unavoidable Promise
Twilight Moonflower is a co-op horror game developed by Japanese indie studio Connected Shadow Games. The team, consisting of only a small number of developers, once worried that the game’s ending and credit sequence might feel too short and underwhelming.
To solve this, the developers posted a message on X, inviting players to submit their names to appear in the ending credits.
“I want a game made by only a few developers to become something many people recognize. I promise to include everyone who likes this post in the ending credits.”
Originally, the team planned to accept only 100 names. Instead, the response went far beyond expectations. More than 60,000 people liked the post and submitted their names. True to their word, the developers honored the promise in full.
The result was an ending credits sequence lasting approximately 30 minutes, featuring the names of 64,901 players. Completing this task required more than 300 hours of work. The credits are accompanied by an original theme song composed and written by YouTuber Creator KY.
Rather than serving as a simple conclusion, the credits became a space of gratitude and a lasting record of the bond between developers and the community that helped bring the game into the spotlight from day one.
A Horror Game Told Through Memories
Beyond its legendary credits, Twilight Moonflower tells a deeply personal story. The game follows Shota, an indie game developer who returns to his hometown and confronts childhood memories involving a mysterious girl, all within a city distorted by supernatural phenomena.
Players can:
- Play solo or team up with up to three players
- Investigate and seal paranormal events
- Evade hostile yokai roaming the city
The game features:
- Three different endings
- A Time Attack mode
- A Custom mode for flexible gameplay styles
When a Promise Is More Than Empty Words
Twilight Moonflower is scheduled to launch on January 30 on Steam for Windows. While its co-op horror gameplay is compelling, the game has gained widespread attention for something far more meaningful.
At a time when many people question the sincerity behind public promises, this small indie title demonstrates the true meaning of commitment by delivering tangible results. That commitment is now permanently recorded in a 30-minute-long ending credits sequence, standing as proof that some promises are meant to be kept.
