I would guess this is common knowledge in the community, but I searched for moon on the subreddit and didn't see much.
I started playing moon this week and was shocked at the similarities to Chibi Robo. As it turns out, Skip was founded by ex Love de Lic employees.
The gameplay loop is very similar. It's about earning love by doing favors for people in an open world. There's a day night cycle and you also have a limited "battery" which slowly upgrades over the course of the game.
The samples that play during dialogue are very similar, the style of writing is similar, and Tao is even in the game!
If you're dying for a game that's like Chibi Robo on the GameCube and you don't know this, check it out!
