This operation was called the LUNARK initiative. Today, Humans are about to celebrate the 300th anniversary of their arrival on their new homeworld: Albaryne. NOAH rules over the settlers with its droid army, and LUNARK - in geostationary orbit over Albaryne - has become a symbol of oppression for a growing part of the population. A tribute to the 2D cinematic platformers of the '80s and '90s such as Prince of Persia, Another World (Out of this World) and Flashback.Colorful and minimalist pixelart style.Lots of contextual cinematic cutscenes using the rotoscoping technique.Adventure length of ~4 hours (~7 for first walkthrough and ~1.5 for speed runs).Shouts echo all around in the huge laboratory, filled with wounded werewolves.
Her gaze is fixed in the void as she stands near the healing vats, holding her injured arm without feeling the pain. All this panic reminds her of heavy memories and she does not want to pretend to, well, rush to help. She can’t be of help anyway, she has no medical knowledge. She walks away slowly from the laboratory. From the corner of her eye, she sees Frankenstein busy with Muzaka under the watchful eye of his master. Blood flows from his wounds, but he moves as if nothing had happened. It makes her feel even more pitiful to see how strong he stay when she is ready to collapse at any moment. She is vaguely anxious for him, knowing that he was not the type to rest before having heal everyone else before him, but she still leaves. She can not be of any help to Frankenstein, her people, or anyone else at this time. Lunark travels to the small room next to the main lab. Everything is exactly as before, except that the healing vat is empty. She advances to the vat and puts her hand against the glass.ĭust floats in the air and there is only a faint light emanating from the hallway. The same gesture she so often made when she came to visit her brother. The day Maduke told her that he would ask scientists to try to find a cure for the illness he had since childhood, she had believed him. She had discovered shortly after that Maduke only wanted to experiment on him. And it was too late: it was already impossible for his brother to recover. This particular sigh is always a harbinger of tears. She promised Mirai to stay strong and watch over their people when she sacrificed herself to save her. “How can I be competent to look after my people,” Lunark thought, leaning her forehead against the glass. “I did not even manage to protect my own brother.Ī tear slides on her cheek.
She plants her nails in the palms of her hands to focus on the physical pain rather than her grief. But she feels the emotions invade her without being able to control herself. Suddenly, footsteps behind her makes her jump.
She turns around sharply, and finds herself face to face with Frankenstein who looks at her questioningly. Gathering what little dignity she has left, she raises her head and stands upright, in a vain attempt to appear stable and calm. “Why are you here?” She asks, hopefully sounding even a bit like her normal self.įrankenstein does not answer and stares at her, the questioning look leaving room for surprise and concern on his face. She wants to run away and retreat in front of this invincible and strong man, who never lets his suffering show through and who has just discovered her own.īut he does not give her time. He moves forward and gently puts his hands on her forearms, looking into her eyes. “When I asked you if you were well after the fight, and you said yes, it was a lie, was not it?” He whispers in the silence of the room only broken by the oppressed breaths of Lunark.
The compassion that shines in those deep blue eyes completely destroys all that remains of resistance to Lunark. She closes her eyes as tears run down her cheeks. Her whole body trembles, and she twitchs as she feels drawn into a soft embrace. Frankenstein’s arms scarcely grip her, as if he was afraid of hurting her. This tenderness hits Lunark in the heart.
