Console: Sega SaturnšŖ
Game: Lunacy
Genre: FMV / Adventure
(System Sacom / Sega / Atlus, 1997)
Beautifully surreal, wonderfully mysterious, and endlessly enchanting. Can you help Fred regain his memory, and find the City of Moons? š
Thereās a captivating, and unique charm to Lunacy, (also known as Gekka Mugentan Torico in Japan), that encourages the player to learn more about its eccentric cast of characters and intriguing surroundings, and remains a stellar example of FMV (Full-Motion Video) gaming.
Wandering around Misty Town in search of clues to find the City of Moons is relaxing, intriguing, and wonderfully mysterious!
During Fredās adventure to regain his memory, youāll meet an assortment of eccentric denizens on your journey, each with their own unique personality traits (that will be sure to leave a lasting impression!). Lunacyās surreal environments, together with its incredible soundtrack, and entertaining voice-acting, make for one unforgettable experience, and this oft overlooked title would make a terrific addition to any Saturn / adventure game fanās library.
If youāre a fan of Lunacy, or looking to check the game out for the first time, developer System Sacomās earlier FMV effort āMansion of the Hidden Soulsā (released on both the Sega / Mega CD and the Sega Saturn, and also more recently on the Sega Genesis Mini II) is also a terrific experience and well-worth playing as a precursor to the more expansive world found in Lunacy.
Lunacy is a gaming experience quite unlike any other, and is a high water mark title, for an under-appreciated genre. Now venture on traveler, the City of Moons awaits! š
