The puzzles are fun and clever, too, and the orchestral music is simply wonderful." - A Most Agreeable Pastime • "Chiaroscuro is one of my favourite words, so what luck that upcoming point and click adventure game Luna The Shadow Dust has such a focus on light and shadows, giving me a tangential excuse to use it." - Rock, Paper, Shotgun • "There are few games as engrossing as well-made point &click puzzle adventures—nothing catches my eye quite like the intersection of intellectual challenge and stellar artwork." - cliquist.com • "Puzzles are promised, but the preeminent draw of this title is evident from the outset: its staggering art, complemented by its loftily luminescent music." - gamepilgrim.com • "The amazing, hand-drawn artwork — inefficiently, but so remarkably gliding and flowing, almost hypnotic." - bigbossbattle.com
