❓ FAQ – L.U.N.A: Ghost in the Machine
02/23/2026I will update it over time.🔹How many people are working on this project?Just like for my former project Emergency Exit, I am working alone on this game.🔹When should the game be released?I don't have a precise date yet, but I'm crossing my fingers for a release at the end of October.🔹Will a demo be available?Of course, possibly during the summer.🔹 The game unfolds in real time, what does that mean? The game simply follows your computer’s clock (according to your time zone). If it’s 7:00 PM for you, it’s 7:00 PM in the game. So 24 hours in real life equals 24 hours in the game, and days follow one another naturally.🔹 Do I need to keep the game running all the time? No. No. No.The game is designed for a semi-active pace: ideally, you should check in daily, though you can play less frequently if you prefer. It’s similar to a Tamagotchi : there's no need to be glued to your screen 24/7. However, to get the most out of the experience, we recommend checking in regularly.Like any game, it’s best enjoyed when you’re fully engaged with it.🔹 What if I have a busy schedule? The time you spend will of course influence your experience, but you will not be punished if you play less than others. Think of it this way: your neighbor might simply have more narrative details to share, but it remains the same story. 😉 Again, the game only requires short daily sessions.🔹 I’m worried about missing something important (events at specific hours, etc.)! Don’t worry: there won’t be any unique, vital events you could miss just because you were away for a moment. In fact, you could barely play at all during the 30 days and you would still get an ending, just a different one.🔹 What happens after 30 7 days? Do you really want to know the end of a movie before watching it? 🎬🔹 The Steam page mentions nods to cinema history. What if I don’t know anything about movies? That’s absolutely fine. You might miss a few references, but nothing will block your progress. I’m not an expert either, ju...Read full article on Community Announcements (Cheeky Cat Games)
