Rockett Series

The Rockett Series is Purple Moon 's largest and, arguably, flagship series of computer games. The series is named after its protagonist, Rockett Movado

The plot of the series chronicles Rockett's 8th grade year at her new school, Whistling Pines Junior High, the people she meets, and the problems she faces as she tries to fit in and make friends in her new home.

The bulk of the series' titles are episodic visual novels consisting of fully voiced animatics. At certain points in the stories, the player will be given three choices of how Rockett can emotionally react to a situation. While these choices happen often, the stories themselves are fairly linear. The player can also stop a scene at any time to explore Rockett's backpack or the Hidden Hallway, a hallway consisting of lockers belonging to other characters in the game. Items in the lockers can provide information on a character as well as hint at events that may be happening outside of the main plot. Later games introduce the Truth Glasses, a pair of psychic glasses that allow the player to hear the thoughts of characters in select scenes.

The other two games in the series, Rockett's Adventure Maker and Rockett's Camp Adventures, are a comic maker and an activity suite, respectively. Though Camp Adventures does have some minor visual novel elements.

Reception
Genevieve of Gingham Games expressed frustration with the first three installments of the series, calling them "bland and monotonous" while expressing appreciation for the research and effort that went into making them. She equated the games to "being on a diet of lettuce and sprouts that leaves you wanting some real solid protein."

GabyH of Lipstick Party Magazine praised the series, calling them important to her and comparing its gameplay to the 2015 episodic game series Life is Strange.
