Moon Watch has a Steam Demo: A survivors-like deck-builder where time is movement from the creators of Backpack Hero.
From Backpack Hero’s “depraved, genre-muddling scientists” comes… it’s hard to explain – inspired by Vampire Survivors, Slay the Spire, and a good dose of SUPERHOT.
Rock Paper Shotgun just called it a “sadistic reversal of the premise”.

In Moon Watch:
Time is movement – think strategically, dodge gingerly, laugh the horde in its face.
Deckbuilding is power – garlic, golden garlic, lightning, turrets, teleports, devastating synergies.
Survival is your goal – outlast hordes of space-undead, slay mighty vampire bosses.
If you joined the earlier demo playtest, good news: now there’s Double. The first Big Demo Update is out on Steam, featuring: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
