</>What does Moon's Backstage (Hidden Menu) do?
Moon's Backstage opens a hidden menu tucked away inside Ori and the Will of the Wisps, packed with extra switches and shortcuts the game normally keeps out of sight. Press Open Backstage Menu to bring it up in the game and Close Backstage Menu to put it away. Switch on Keep Backstage Unlocked and you can also open or close it by clicking both controller sticks. Some Backstage pages can jump your story progress around, so back up your save before you experiment. Opening the menu also keeps that play session's Spirit Trial times and end-of-game leaderboard scores off the online leaderboards, the game's own rule for this menu, until you restart the game.

</>Common questions about Moon's Backstage (Hidden Menu)
What does Moon's Backstage do in Ori and the Will of the Wisps?
Moon's Backstage is a ProjectMods mod for Ori and the Will of the Wisps that opens a hidden menu built into the game. Press Open Backstage Menu and the menu appears in the game, with extra switches, shortcuts and scene jumps the game normally keeps out of sight; press Close Backstage Menu to put it away. Switch on Keep Backstage Unlocked and you can also open and close it by clicking both controller sticks. It's a peek behind the curtain for curious players, content creators and streamers. Some pages can change story progress, so back up your save before exploring.
Can the Backstage menu change my save in Ori and the Will of the Wisps?
Yes, it can, which is why backing up first matters. Some pages of the hidden menu that Moon's Backstage opens can change story progress or move Ori to other scenes in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Copy your save before you experiment, or try the menu on a spare save you don't mind changing. Opening the menu also keeps that play session's Spirit Trial times and end-of-game leaderboard scores off the online leaderboards, the game's own rule for this menu, until you restart the game. Treat every page as something that might alter your game until you know what it does, and close the menu with Close Backstage Menu when you've finished looking around.
What does Keep Backstage Unlocked do in Moon's Backstage?
Keep Backstage Unlocked adds a quick shortcut to Moon's Backstage: while it's switched on, you can open and close the Backstage menu in Ori and the Will of the Wisps by clicking both controller sticks, without going back to the launcher. Switch it off and that shortcut is locked again; the Open Backstage Menu button in the launcher's mod panel still opens the menu. It's handy if you play with a controller and want to dip in and out of the menu often, for example while recording or streaming.
Can a stray key press change my save while Moon's Backstage is on?
No. Moon's Backstage never turns on the game's hidden keyboard shortcuts, so ordinary key presses while you play Ori and the Will of the Wisps can't change a save by accident. You open the hidden menu with Open Backstage Menu in the launcher, or by clicking both controller sticks while Keep Backstage Unlocked is on. Its pages are another matter: some can change story progress or move Ori to other scenes. Back up your save before you open the menu, and close it with Close Backstage Menu when you're done.
Who is Moon's Backstage for?
Moon's Backstage is for curious players, content creators and streamers who want to see what's tucked away inside Ori and the Will of the Wisps. The hidden menu is a fun way to explore the game from a different angle, show viewers something they've never seen, or answer chat's questions live. It's an unofficial peek behind the curtain rather than a guided feature, so treat it as an experiment: back up your save, poke around, and close the menu when you're done.
