Moonring

Moonring is a modern open-world RPG with a deliberately old-school soul, combining exploration, turn-based combat, character development and a beautifully restrained pixel-art aesthetic. You are free to wander through a large fantasy world, encounter strange locations, fight creatures and discover secrets without constantly being pushed along a rigid storyline. Its design draws heavily from classic computer RPG traditions, particularly the feeling that the world exists independently of the player and does not need to explain every little thing. The monochrome-inspired visuals and atmospheric soundtrack reinforce that sense of stepping into an old forgotten game that somehow escaped from a much older computer. For fans of Ultima-style exploration and independent RPGs, Moonring is a particularly tasty modern throwback.
