Getting lost in a video game isn't negative. Not in the sense that this game gave me. I had figured that the whimsy I got from playing games of my childhood was gone, that my maturity let me no longer look at another world and take it in. This game brought me back to my senses in how amazing it felt to explore, uncover, look, listen and find thing. This game is beautiful and proves art style and passion mage a game, make true art worth seeing, playing. Don't try to "beat" this game. Yes aim to finish it. But enjoy your time with this masterpiece.

About This Game
From the creator of Lost in Vivo and Spooky’s Jump Scare Mansion, Lunacid is a horror ARPG from a bygone era. Immerse yourself in a dark, desperate world full of foes, lost souls, and hidden secrets.
A World Shrouded in Darkness
Long ago, the Great Beast arose from the sea and covered the earth in poison fog. Choking out the land of both life and light, a new era of wonderous misery began.
Centuries have passed. The once hallowed halls and bustling streets are mere shadows. Those deemed undesirable are thrown into the Great Well, a pit of chaos and disease. Cast into its depths for crimes unknown, you awaken in this moonlit subterranean world. Your only hope lies with the sleeping Old One deep below. But many perils lie between you and your ultimate goal.
An Era Lost to Time
From the mind of horror master Akuma Kira, Lunacid harkens to a lost era of first-person ARPGs. Legendary for their meticulous design and dense dungeons, the King’s Field series was the Dark Souls before there was a Dark Souls. Long abandoned by AA/AAA developers, the mantle of “King’s-Like” is left to the humble indie. Which is great, because that's where all the cool weird stuff comes from anyways.
The world of Lunacid is bursting at the seams with new things to discover, from hidden magics to secret areas. This isn’t just the odd room with a chest in it; entire new areas await those with a watchful eye. Esoteric puzzles and cryptic hints galore are sure to confound and delight even the experienced dungeon delver.
Tactile Combat
Take yourself back to a time before dodge rolling. Swipe, backstep, block, and overcome foes with patience and persistence. Featuring a robust body targeting system and unique elemental weaknesses/resistances, each encounter becomes a skilful yet deadly dance of death. Begin your journey as a thief, knight, cleric, or… vampire? Building your character up to you.
An Arsenal to Uncover
Over 75 weapons await you in the fetid halls of Lunacid. 37 Unique spells, each with applications beyond the obvious. Finding them all, however, is another matter. Unless you use a guide. Which hey, we won’t judge.┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌
Classic RPG Challenge
Don’t forget to save.
Featuring dozens of hours of gameplay and multiple endings, Lunacid is a rich and rewarding take on a classic formula. Relics of past game design long abandoned lie in wait. So jump in the Great Well and let the wonders of Lunacid surprise you. Mimics might just steal your silver instead of eat you.

User Reviews
I want to get into this game, but the lack of coherent menus, sound effect volume levels all over the place, awful rebinding system that opens a text document, and boring as all hell combat just takes me out of the experience. The vibe and art are outstanding however, its just not for me.
This game has nothing bad about it, if you like dungeon crawlers, dark fantasy stories, spells and swordfighting. Wow. I was blown away by this game, it captivated me with it's creativity despite keeping it simple. You know, it just shows that you don't need the best high tech graphics or a bunch of fluff to make an amazing game. I loved the experience of playing Lunacid. Highly recommend.
good game but not for me. turned off by stupid pronouns, verb and adjectives.
If you are looking for an immersive escape into a fantasy game that is dark and compelling, look elsewhere. I almost never make reviews, but buster let me tell you, this game is not it. Don't buy the game even if it's on sale.
Genuinely one of my favorite games of all time. I adore the art style and soundtrack of this game. While the combat is simple I, personally, still really enjoy it. Lunacid is similar to old-school Fromsoftware games like Shadow Tower and Kingsfield but with modernized controls. Overall, a 10/10 experience and immaculate vibes.
Interesting concept but the combat is very boring and repetitive, the map design is very simple and other than that its bait for queers
It feels like a PS1 dungeon crawler with a really good atmosphere. The soundtrack is amazing, it fits perfectly. Gameplay isnt too hard but not too easy either, you need to explore a lot. Definitely isnt for everyone, but if you like old school games, you will enjoy it.
This game have surprised me for good. It has good music and is looks good. I like the exploring and the puzzles it brings. Most of the things you can figure out by yourself. Combat is also interesting, a lot of weapons and magic. Each enemy has their weakness and weak points and you can use them to to your advantage. I have some negative points. The bindings menu is non existent, which its funny and at the sime time infuriating, because it opens up a text editor to change them. Other thing is that a few zones feel too big for what they have.
I absolutely love everything about this game, it's rpg elements are not too overwhelming, you can even customise your profile img, it has alot of really cool and unique areas and has that really cool retro art style that I love. My favourite thing about the game is the amazing OSTs, if you're considering getting this game, I would even get it for the OST alone, not even including just everything else about it. Thanks for creating this masterpiece, truly a game you can really just lose yourself in.
