City on the Moon
Moon Hotel.
Pre-booking online. Capital of the Moon
It would be so cool to go to the moon. So cool. Will we? Two billboards for a moon location but no other clues in game. However, Japanese folklore gives us an interesting lead. "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter”, also known as “Princess Kaguya” is a 10th-century folktale. It is considered the oldest extant Japanese narrative.
It tells the story of a mysterious girl called Kaguya-hime, who was discovered as a baby inside the stalk of a glowing bamboo plant. She is said to be from Tsuki-no-Miyako (月の都 "The Capital of the Moon")."
Is the moon the next zone or is this a clever blurring of reality, myth and game?
