Our take on Lunar Axe
The focus on clues, puzzles, and hidden-object scenes keeps the experience centered on investigation. That choice leaves less room for other gameplay structures, such as combat or broader action systems, than in an adventure built around multiple activities.
What is Lunar Axe?
After an earthquake traps the protagonist inside an abandoned house, the story follows an investigation into tremors threatening the city of São Luís.
Players explore locations, collect and match clues and objects, and solve puzzles, including hidden-object scenes. The investigation leads to a mystical artifact, its guardian spirit, and ancient secrets connected to Brazilian folklore. The full version contains more than 35 scenes based on real locations and more than 30 puzzles and hidden-object scenes. It also includes hand-drawn 2D art, an original soundtrack, historical items, and bonus material with references related to the story and the real places that inspired it.
