Game Overview
An alien army tears through a once-harmonious world, leaving a young girl and her unusual animal companion to cross its endangered landscapes. Planet of Lana is a cinematic 2D puzzle adventure built around quiet tension rather than constant violence, pairing hand-painted sci-fi vistas with a surprisingly intimate rescue story. Lana’s journey begins with a personal loss, but gradually expands into a larger mystery involving ancient technology, distant worlds, and a catastrophe far older than the invasion itself. The mood shifts smoothly between peaceful exploration, anxious hiding, and dramatic escapes.
Most of the adventure revolves around guiding Lana through side-scrolling environments while coordinating with Mui, a catlike creature that can reach switches, crawl through small openings, distract threats, and obey simple commands to follow or wait. Puzzles ask players to read the terrain and combine both characters’ abilities, whether that means redirecting machinery, avoiding patrols, manipulating weight-sensitive platforms, or timing movements around hazards. Lana has no combat toolkit, so dangerous encounters rely on stealth, positioning, and quick reactions during chase sequences. Checkpoints are generally generous, though later challenges can demand precise timing and patient observation.
Planet of Lana stands apart through its striking visual presentation: broad grasslands, deserts, ruined cities, and alien structures resemble a moving science-fiction illustration, supported by a restrained, atmospheric score. Its companion system gives familiar environmental puzzles more warmth and personality than a standard lone-hero platformer, especially as Mui becomes essential to both the narrative and the solutions. Players who enjoy the wordless tension and visual storytelling of Limbo or Inside, but want a brighter and more hopeful setting, are likely to find plenty to appreciate here. It suits newcomers to puzzle adventures as well as veterans looking for a polished, story-led experience that respects their time rather than stretching its ideas too far.
