Our take on LUNA The Shadow Dust
Dialogue is replaced by wordless animated scenes, making the story's visual presentation central to the adventure. The puzzle structure also avoids hidden-item searches and backtracking, with challenges presented as separate problems inside an ancient tower.
What is LUNA The Shadow Dust?
LUNA The Shadow Dust is a single-player point-and-click puzzle adventure about a young boy and his companion entering an ancient tower.
Both characters are playable, and puzzles can be approached from different perspectives. The challenges appear in hand-drawn environments and work as standalone puzzles, without hidden items or player backtracking. The story is told through wordless cinematics rather than a dialogue system, following the characters as they trace old memories in an enchanted world. The animation uses traditional frame-by-frame production at 12 frames per second and three layers per frame, with more than 250 animations and 20 minutes of cinematics. An original soundtrack accompanies the journey.
