is a Japanese language freeware role-playing video game created with RPG Tsukūru 95. Mainly made by Kōichirō Takaki (高木 幸一郎), also known as Kannazuki Sasuke (神無月サスケ), this game involves an adventure of a five-year-old kindergartner in a pseudo-Japanese city of the 1980s and 1990s. It won an ASCII-held monthly contest, Internet Contest Park, two popular votes on Internet Contest Park, reaching respectively #1 and #8, and an honorable mention in the ASCII Entertainment Software Contest. Overview Moon Whistle is a story-based role-playing game, featuring sprite characters and objects, 2D exploring maps, cutscene dialogues, and combats ― conventional fares of old-school role-playing games as a whole. The game's prominent feature is its setting; contrary to a regular save-the-world plot in a high fantasy setting, the story of Moon Whistle unfolds mostly in a fictionalized modern Japanese city completed with original chip sets and character sprites. Much like the Mother series, most of main characters are preteen children. Their wielding weapons are everyday items and toys, they wear casual clothing or mascot costumes instead of a piece of armor, and monsters they fight include weird ones like burner/tripod monsters and iron frogs. The entire music was composed for the game by the pseudonym Saia Hyōseki (氷石彩亜). Basically its story revolves around a kindergarten-aged boy, Zenon (ぜのん), and his friends, while it also focuses on topics like alienation mainly from the viewpoint of another lead character, X Ranger (Xレンジャー). Zenon generally does not speak lines but with a few exceptions. The whole story is divided into over 20 small episodes, every of which takes place in a day. Once the player is finished with a day, the next day featured continues. Gameplay While unique in appearances, its gameplay is a customary one for a role-playing game; buying items in shops, equipping gadgets, random encounters, boss battles, leveling up, explorations, communicating with townspeople, and so forth. Its battle system is the default one of RPG Tsukūru 95 so that battles are operated in a front-view, turn-based fashion that resembles to that of SNES Dragon Quest games. Plot Set in Motomachi Town (もとまちタウン), a fictional 1980s Japanese suburb, the story begins on Zenon's first school day following spring vacation. After school, he goes to a hill in the town together with Narumi looking for X-Ranger, a superhero in a children's TV show, who allegedly appears in Motomachi Town for some reason. After meeting a man
