Hello to our lovely LUNA The Shadow Dust supporters, It’s been almost a year since LUNA launched! Today, we’d like to share what we’ve learned during the game’s development and tell you about our biggest successes (and failures).

Cute Sidekicks Bundle In LUNA The Shadow Dust our protagonist is assisted by an adorable cat-like creature. Switch between the two companions to solve puzzles. Despite living in the 50th century, Henry (Mutropolis) is old-fashioned and prefers a good old trowel for his archaeological adventures. MAX, his cute robot sidekick, prefers a more modern approach. So, it comes in handy that players can control MAX every now and then to get the job done! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33051363/56e7dc233f128f43a7d4a4a598f4fa6b02bef6a4.png Buy the bundle here: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/18955/Cute_Sidekic

Hello, lovely LUNA The Shadow Dust players, At a strange time like this, we hope all of you are well. Much the same as everyone across the world, all the members of Lantern Studio are more or less forced to work from home under each country’s individual quarantine regulations. It is a hard time for all of us, so many things have been unexpectedly affected but we're still trying our best to keep up our spirits - to work, relax and take care of our family members as best we can. There hasn't been a time in memory in which ALL of us are in such a crisis together, and the only way to get through i

There’s no denying that Luna: The Shadow Dust is exceptionally easy on the eyes. It’s a sumptuous point and click puzzler that sees you move from one lovingly hand-drawn room to the next, as you work your way up a strange and mysterious tower. You’re never explicitly sure why you’re heading skyward, since the game prides itself on its wordless storytelling. Instead of bombarding you with dozens of text boxes, it conveys its narrative through ancient-looking murals adorning the tower walls, and occasionally through the puzzles themselves. It works to an extent, but IR
