About The Game
The Lunar Effect is a psychological horror puzzle game where every action is questioned, every clue is vital, and every second is precious. Inspired by the art styles of Resident Evil and Silent Hill, The Lunar Effect takes its protagonist on a dark and unfamiliar path. Awakening in a strange mansion, he must discover the fate of its inhabitants and find a way out. But be warned- all is not as it seems.

Puzzle GIF
Think outside the box with a host of puzzles and challenges, both within the game and beyond. It will take every ounce of your creative thinking and urgency to make it out with your life.
Clock GIF
Be wary; time is fleeting, and to drag one’s feet is to anger the gods. You must make haste to escape an unknown fate and survive your trials. You must escape the Lunar Effect.

Review:
I can not wait for the full release of this game!
The art-style was amazing, and I was surprised by the fact the the camera angles worked so seamlessly.
While I liked the secrets in the game, I am not sure leaving secrets into a game and timing the gameplay is a good cocktail.
Alas, you can always replay the game. I hope this game will have a chapter selection or save system in the future so that players do not find it tedious to discover these secrets.
But overall, this was a great and very fun experience!
