About

Desperate to restore its dormant power, two wizards perform an ancient lunar ritual believed to awaken magic.

All humans transform into animals.
All animals turn into monsters.
To undo the curse, a small caravan of survivors must journey through
corrupted lands and reach the distant Moon Temple before dawn.
