Planting trees and petting birds has never felt so relaxing.
It’s always a good sign when a game keeps you smiling every moment you spend with it.
That’s the experience I recently had with Luna, a virtual reality – and soon-to-be non-VR – puzzle game from Funomena. Formed by veterans of ThatGameCompany, the studio responsible for the acclaimed Journey, Funomena has built an experience that channels much of the same charm and whimsy while harkening back to the tranquility of ThatGameCompany’s earlier title Flower.
Adopting the diorama perspective virtual reality lends itself so well to, Luna is ostensibly a puzzle game – but only in the lightest sense. It is more of a virtual bonsai garden, presenting you with tiny worlds inhabited by origami creatures that you gently poke and prod at more for the sheer delight of it than to achieve any concrete end. A bird – the Bird – is your only guide as the god of Luna’s miniature terrariums, your grander purpose the intentionally vague goal of restoring a fractured moon to its former glory.
