Planet of Lana is a 2023 puzzle-platform game developed by Wishfully and published by Thunderful Publishing for Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, and later by Playdigious for Android and iOS. In the game, the player assumes control of a teenage girl named Lana and her cat-like companion Mui, as they explore a fictional planet invaded by hostile alien machines. The game was inspired by cinematic platformers such as Inside, while its visuals were inspired by films from Studio Ghibli.

Runs well on modern hardware.

What a incredible game! Nice story, gameplay, art direction and sound design! I'll play the second game right away! Good work devs! And thank you!
a fun puzzle game with a beautiful artstyle. loved the story, characters and gameplay. cried multiple times too. now i can't wait to try the 2nd game! 9/10 muis.
[h1]Inside, But Make It Cute[/h1] This is a very cool action/sneak/platformer/puzzle game. It is obviously heavily inspired by games like [i]INSIDE[/i] or [i]Limbo[/i]. Except, thankfully, it trades the relentless, pitch-black psychological trauma for a beautiful sci-fi aesthetic. You play as a young girl trapped on a gorgeous planet that has suddenly been invaded by hostile aliens. But this time around, you aren't completely alone. You have an absolutely adorable cat-monkey-type creature called Mui by your side. [b]The Gameplay Loop[/b] The structure is classic cinematic platformer. You progress from one stunning location to the next, with each area presenting a distinct puzzle you need to solve to move forward. Sometimes these obstacles require clever sneaking. Sometimes they involve operating ancient machinery. More often than not, they require Mui's specific help to solve. [b]The Real Star of the Show[/b] Mui is quite literally the most adorable creature you can possibly imagine. Honestly, half the fun of the entire game is just bossing this little guy around to do your bidding. If you've ever wanted to command a cute alien pet to jump on ledges and distract robots for you, this is your game. [b]Verdict:[/b] Highly recommended. Come for the beautiful sci-fi puzzles, stay for the absolute joy of having a loyal, tiny sidekick.
