Download Moonmist - DOS game

In Moonmist (1986), you’re invited to a spooky English castle where, naturally, murder and mystery are on the menu. This Infocom text adventure mixes romance, ghost stories, and classic whodunit elements. It’s less about killing monsters and more about catching killers, with multiple plot variations depending on your choices. The writing is sharp, the puzzles clever, and the whole experience feels like curling up with a gothic novel. If you’ve ever wanted to solve mysteries while sipping tea in a haunted manor, Moonmist delivers exactly that.
