99% of things created by people with hearts all filled up with nostalgia are at best boring, and at worst, genuinely malicious.

Lunacid uses nostalgia in service to the creation of new wonder rather than the recycling of wonder already felt. I felt like a little kid again, not because of the idiosyncratic visuals or the gameplay similarities to King's Field, but because the product as a whole centers mystery and inviting obscurity.

I love it. Play it completely blind.
