This week marks the Japanese lunar festival known as Tsukimi. Japanese people traditionally display decorations and eat rice dumplings to celebrate the beauty of the moon during this time. GOG is getting in on the festivities too; the GOG Moon Festival sale is cutting up to 85% off all kinds of Japanese games. Let's have a look!
