Who should pick this up
Worth it if…
- You loved Planet of Lana (2023) and want denser puzzles and a darker mid-game
- You enjoy Inside/Limbo/Hollow Knight-tier hand-painted indies under 8 hours
- You want a couch-friendly single-player that finishes in a weekend
Skip if…
- You wanted action combat — Lana II is puzzle-platformer first, traversal second
- You bounce off slow-paced cinematic indies — this leans atmospheric over kinetic
- You only buy 30+ hour RPGs at full price — this is a 6-hour story
