Chiaroscuro is one in all my favorite phrases, so what luck that upcoming level and click on journey game Luna The Shadow Dust has such a give attention to gentle and shadows, giving me a tangential excuse to make use of it. Players will tinker their approach by way of “a broken magical world that awaits illumination, solving puzzles and tracing back the memories of old,” as you possibly can see from the trailer beneath.
I need his little rabbit hood.
Players will management each the boy and, effectively, I assume that’s the titular Shadow Dust that’s preserving him firm, as they examine their approach by way of the tower searching for solutions and misplaced recollections. It’s additionally all set to music that “our musician has sold her soul to the game music devil” for. So that’s how game growth works.
There’s a neat explainer within the growth logs about tweaking numerous colors within the game in order that sure puzzles could possibly be solved by colourblind gamers. Hurray for accessibility, and it’s attention-grabbing to listen to how an expert illustrator switches up shades to repair the issue with out undermining the palette itself.
The game crowdfunded efficiently a couple of years in the past, and there’s an old demo from then kicking about if you wish to take a peek. But it is likely to be value ready a little bit bit, as a result of there’s apparently an improved model “coming soon.”
Luna The Shadow Dust is scheduled for 2019, and if Google Translate is something to go by, these two Chinese characters on its Steam web page put its launch date as this summer season.
