moi rai games is an independent game development studio from Germany. It has released Monster Sanctuary and is currently developing its new title, Aethermancer. Based on the content, it is not a traditional design tool, but rather a creative content product and game brand centered on pixel art, monster taming, turn-based combat, and exploration gameplay.
Monster Sanctuary is built around the idea of “monster taming meets Metroidvania.” Players collect monster eggs, hatch them, and build teams while exploring a side-scrolling pixel world. Combat rewards, skill trees, and equipment enable a wide variety of builds. Monsters also have exploration abilities that help unlock new areas.
Aethermancer, meanwhile, shifts to “monster taming meets Roguelite.” Players take on the role of an Aethermancer and lead three mythical creatures through the ever-changing Fractured Ruins, fighting, dying, and being reborn. The game emphasizes soul-based progression after permadeath, four-element strategy, class abilities, and deep skill combinations.
Monster Sanctuary has clear pricing: £15.99/€19.99/$19.99 on Steam and supported console platforms. It supports Windows, Mac, Linux, Switch, Xbox One, and PS4.
Aethermancer currently offers a free playable demo on Steam. Its official price has not yet been announced. It is planned for Steam Early Access, with the full release expected to cover PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. The current Aethermancer demo supports English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
The strengths are its clear positioning, with pixel art deeply integrated with monster collection, skill trees, equipment, and team synergy. The team explicitly opposes crunch, follows a “release when it’s ready” approach, and values community feedback through channels such as Discord.
The drawbacks are that Aethermancer does not yet have a confirmed release date or price. It is also planned as a 100% single-player experience, with no PvP or co-op. Official mod support is not currently planned, and cross-platform saves are not officially supported.
It is suitable for players who enjoy Pokémon-style collection and progression, turn-based strategy, pixel-art side-scrolling exploration, and Roguelite buildcrafting. It may also appeal to creators interested in how indie games combine visual style with mechanics.
