Moon Cradle was originally a 3DO game developed by Matsushita (Panasonic).  You can see a 3DO system in this Saturn version of the game which was re-programmed by Pack-In-Soft who are better known as Victor Interactive Software or JVC in the west.

Moon Cradel is a mystery detective adventure set around solving a murder. The game is played in an isometric view accompanied by many FMV cut scenes. These scenes will run with the Saturn's MPEG card giving you some nice clean footage. Unfortunately for those without the MPEG Card you have to put up with what's got to be some of the worst FMV on the Saturn to date.

Overall Moon Cradle is quite nice but be warned that you will need to know Japanese if you are to play it properly. Below you can see the official guide book that came with my copy. I have no idea if this was a special set or if it came as standard since I bought mine second hand.
