Moon Child (Commodore Amiga) - Games That Weren't
</a>
</h5>
<p class="card-text line-clamp-3">Moon Child is an interesting project that started life on the Commodore Amiga, but ultimately ended up being completed and released on PC instead. The game was developed by Dutch team Team Hoi, made up of Reinier van Vliet, Metin Seven and Ramon Braumuller, who had previously worked together on titles such as Hoi and Clockwiser.</p>
