Setting
In the world of Moonlighter, merchants travel across interconnected worlds to sell one-of-a-kind marvels. Will, the protagonist, used to venture into these realms, gathering loot and vending treasures at his bustling shop.
After the events of the first game, Will loses his home dimension and ends up as a castaway in the blob-brimming land of Tresna, joined by both familiar faces and new allies.
One day, a powerful businessman and passionate relic collector presents Will with a tempting offer. If the shopkeeper-hero retrieves treasures from three peculiar dimensions, this enigmatic patron promises to return Will and his friends to their home.
