LUNA The Shadow Dust

It was a short puzzle game. The game, the story, and especially the music were all wonderful. The atmosphere pulled me in from start to finish, and everything worked together to tell a touching story. The puzzles were well designed and not frustratingly difficult, but satisfying to solve without needing to look up hints. This game is definitely worth playing.

What an absolute gem this game is. I wanted to play something cozy and this game gave so much more than I expected. The art is beautiful, the music is gorgeous and the story is intriguing. The puzzles are just hard enough so it is interesting. It is absolutely a great experience, perfect for a cozy night with the biggest cup of tea you can muster.

Luna The Shadow Dust is a beautiful narrative game for those who love hand drawn art and quiet storytelling. The puzzles were a little challenging for me, but I never gave up because I needed to see it through the end of the adventure and it was sweet and satisfying.

优点：美术非常有特色，很多地方可以截图当壁纸，音乐也很好听，解密运用了光影关系，设计不错，剧情尚可。 缺点：首先作为指向点击式解密，难度偏低，流程很短2-3h左右，价格偏贵，关卡很多重复操作强行拉长时间，末尾CG有10多分钟，比重过大，其次操作反馈不佳，有延迟，部分谜题需要快速操作，容易红温，最后部分成就非常非常非常阴间，纯粹折磨。不太推荐游玩，除非真的很喜欢这个美术风格。

I really enjoyed playing most of this game. A couple of puzzles were tricky, but the satisfaction from getting them solved was just over the top :D It's also unusual how there's zero explanations or instructions, yet it doesn't complicate things one bit. When the story came to an end, I was sad not only because it was over, but because the portrayal of sacrifice and love was truly amazing -- and heartbreaking.

♥ The music is outstanding ♥ Great artwork ♥ Cute characters that reminds me of Finn and Jake from adventure time! ♥ Good variation on difficulty on the puzzles ♥ Great game to stream or play offline

LUNA: The Shadow Dust is a beautiful point and click adventure game about climbing up a tower with your little cat-creature-companion to try and piece together what happened (wow you have amnesia) before reaching the top and restoring light to a world shrouded in darkness. LUNA has some great somber, heartfelt, exciting, mystical, and mysterious harp, orchestral, choral and piano ballads that provide a rich soundscape to back up the wonderful artstyle. The game of course also makes use of one of my favorite point and click puzzle games mechanics of making the music slowly build as you solve the puzzle in each room. LUNA's world is brimming with secrets proven by many of the achievements. Luna is also full of murals or frescos that light up as you solve various puzzles that make good use of the two characters you inhabit along the journey. Also of note is that LUNA has some animated cutscenes interspersed throughout the game that tell the vague, nonverbal tale and show a bit more action and drama than the standard point and click gameplay. The rooms and each of their puzzles were creative and interesting with concepts from cooking to seasonal time manipulation to one of the game's central mechanics: having the catlike-creature traverse the room in the shadows; this is reminiscent of Contrast from 2013 by Compulsion Games. Overall LUNA as a package is well made with each aspect hitting the mark, and enough variety and creativity complementing the beautiful music and animation to make this a worthy purchase when on sale.

- Es un tipo de juego point and click con música y paisajes immersivos. - La historia está bien, tiene momentos emocionantes y unas pocas cinemáticas largas. - Como la narrativa es sin palabras, no hay problemas de idioma o traducción. - El apartado artístico, hecho a mano, es excelente, es su punto fuerte junto con la música. - Empiezas controlando un personaje - el niño - y al poco rato también llebas a otro con otras qualidades complementarias - el cuadrupedo. - Para los impacientes, los personajes no corren, andan con bastante parsimonia. Pero el tiempo y la velocidad no importan. No tiene mucha acción. - Solo necesitas el mouse y te sobran botones. Requiere de observación. Los personajes no disponen de inventario. - La mayoría de puzzles y logros son fáciles. Y los más difíciles no son frustrantes (Aunque algún logro puede resultar ser de mecanica tediosa). - Pasar el juego no requiere una gran inversión de horas y no se puede considerar rejugable. SI BUSCAS UN POINT AND CLICK, CASUAL, BONITO E IMMERSIVO, ESTE ES UNA BUENA OPCIÓN.

Sure, if you're looking for a low-stakes cozy game with pretty artwork and a cute animal companion. A lot of other puzzles are pretty monotonous, though. More time is spent going back and forth than actually solving puzzles, and some of the achievements are counted weirdly so they aren't ones you'd stumble upon easily in regular game play (e.g., not just going through a door 20 times... but specifically the *wrong* door 20 times....?) But walking in the shadows was fun. So. There's that.
