What it's about: An original cinematic soundtrack accompanies point-and-click puzzle gameplay as players switch between control of two separate characters — a young boy and his companion — in a dream-like quest to restore balance to the world. A stunning, hand-animated audio-visual experience, LUNA The Shadow Dust has been described by Beidi Guo, Lantern Studio developer, as "a story-driven adventure game inspired by many of my favorite artists, from Studio Ghibli, illustrator Shaun Tan, the novelist Ursula le Guin.”ť
Developer: Amanita Design

What it's about: An inventory and card-based interactive with pencil sketch style visuals, Pilgrims puts players in control of a roaming adventurer who helps fellow quirky travelers complete their own charming stories. “It is a game that celebrates playfulness, and a game that provides a healthy bit of challenge for everyone, no matter how experienced a gamer you are," said Pilgrims developer Jakub DvorskĂ˝. "Being silly definitely pays off in Pilgrims!"
