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. Who knows what might be watching you.



Explore and interact with the environment to discover your path to freedom. Find your salvation by scouring every inch of the mysterious mansion. With each clue unearthed, the hour of your escape- or demise- draws nearer.



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.‏‏‎ ‎



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.
