This version contains mainly minor bugfixes.
Luna: The Shadow Dust is a masterpiece of visual storytelling. As a point-and-click puzzle adventure, it stands out by completely eschewing dialogue. Every emotion and plot point is conveyed through hand-drawn animation and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack.
The puzzles are clever and deeply integrated into the environment. Playing as both a young boy and his mysterious animal companion requires you to think about how they can cooperate to overcome obstacles. It feels like playing through a Studio Ghibli film—atmospheric, melancholic, and ultimately hopeful. It's a premium experience that is worth every penny.
Breathtaking hand-drawn 2D animation
Unique wordless storytelling
Atmospheric and emotional soundtrack
Challenging environmental puzzles
Remember that you can switch between the boy and his companion. Often, one must hold a lever or stand on a platform while the other moves to the next area.
Since there is no text, look at the murals and background details for clues on how to solve the more complex mechanical puzzles.
This is a premium title that includes the full experience originally released on PC.
I have really enjoyed this game but I think there is a glitch occurring in the clock tower. I have solved both rotating puzzles a few times but the little animal won’t come out of the cave. I have gotten passed it twice and when I log back in its starts over. I’m really frustrated.
Absolutely loved this game! The graphics were gorgeous, the music was wonderful, and the cutscenes were moving - no need for words or dialog of any kind. The puzzles were difficult but I made it through every level except one without having to consult the walkthrough for a hint. I would LOVE to play more games like this one. Great job, developers!!
This was well done and an awesome game to play! Would love to play another like this! Had a couple of slow glitches but found music, graphics and puzzles were well thought out! Great story line as well! Thank you! I recommend this game!
Thank you for another truly wonderful game. Touching story, characters you can get to know and love, challenging puzzles, excellent atmosphere and music, etc., etc. Just excellent!! Loved all of it!!
Wonderful quality full length game, great art and care put into its making. Thank you developers please continue to support it with updates !
I never write reviews but this game design deserves 5 stars!
Really enjoy this game but have had to restart levels several times. In the clock tower and solved both dark and light and I can’t get the pet to come out. :( So close to the end and stuck.
I can’t make the companion jump on The Cellar level. Then when I signed back in, I had lost several rooms of progress. I’m frustrated and disappointed.

Its point-and-click adventure elements eventually feel alternately rudimentary and more than a little tedious.
