comment
Long ago a great beast arose from the sea and covered the earth in a strange fog that reshaped the world and twisted all it touched. Now those deemed undesirable are thrown into a great well, which has become a pit of chaos and disease. You awaken in a moonlit subterranean world, having been thrown into the Great Well for crimes unknown. The only way out is to go further down.Lunacid is a first-person RPG which takes heavy influence from the King's Field and Shadow Tower series, alongside inspiration from FromSoftware's newer "Soulsborne" titles, introducing mechanics like dedicated blocking, classes, stat levelling, and a heavy dose of cryptic Flavor Text.The game was developed by Akuma Kira (also known for Lost in Vivo and Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion), and was released into Early Access on Steam on March 15, 2022.

Warp Whistle: The large magenta Warp Crystals act as a teleport nodes between each other, while the Crystals Shards item and Spirit Warp spell will dump you directly next to the Warp Crystal in Wing's Rest.

Crapsack World
 Lunacid (Video Game) / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: Both the Great Well and the outside world are depicted as looking pretty shitty, but while the Well has been said to be for criminals, the elderly, and the sick, it looks positively heavenly compared to the hellish landscape that is the outside world. For context, it's covered with poison mist from an unknown "great beast" which not only made mankind paranoid, segregated, and on the brink of extinction, but also made the surface completely dead. When you reach the Great Well Surface, Demi even argues why people would want to escape to the surface, seeing it as no better than the Well.

Haunted Castle: Castle Le Fanu is a Homage to these; being a massive keep hewn from black stone, filled with both ornate luxuries and deadly secrets, and is ruled by Vampires; with an extra helping of bloody poltergeists to go with them.

Excalibur in the Rust
 Lunacid (Video Game) / int_28822684
comment
Excalibur in the Rust: Some of the upgradeable weapons begin with low stats and an unimpressive appearance but become much more useful once upgraded. For example, the Rusted Hilt (a near-useless weapon with almost no range and terrible damage) becomes the Fire Sword, which has respectable base damage, lights up dark areas, and sets enemies on fire.

Off Screen Moment Of Awesome: You know the Sinister Scythe Demi has? She got that from Death himself. It's unknown how she herself managed to defeat him or why she even took him on in the first place, but it's extremely impressive. Though the "Old Death" was replaced with a "New Death", who is apparently far stronger than the old one.

comment
Facial Horror: The mummies found in the Temple of Silence have a massive cavity above their nose, looking like someone scooped out their brain through their face. A tome you can find implies that, in fact, it was the other way around. They were apparently monks following a mad sorcerer, seeking enlightenment. Later on you find the brains - as enemies in the Forbidden Archives. Apparently, the monks found what they sought, as the floating, spellcasting brains with eyes are named "Enlightened Ones"

 Lunacid (Video Game) / int_832c45c4
comment
Stalked by the Bell: In the Mausoleum, if you stay for too long, text will appear saying "Death Approaches", followed by Death himself coming to kill you. He's unkillable, gets progressively faster, and both curses (which makes it so you can't use weapons) and bleeds you should he attack you with his scythe, though contact damage is an One-Hit Kill. The only way to escape him is by either using a Crystal Shard/the Spirit Warp spell, using the Warp Crystal (though if you are cursed you can't use it) or booking it for the entrance door and going to the Sanguine Lake.

Rat King

comment
Rat King: One of the enemies encountered in the Fetid Mire's sewers, though in an unusual example of the trope they're the type of rat kings you'd find in real life, being just groups of normal rats with their tails tangled together. For a straighter example of the trope, there are the Rat Queens, dog-sized rats with smaller rats seemingly growing from their bodies.

Shout-Out
 Lunacid (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: One of the stories that Clive can tell you about is one where a cruel Witch King tortured his subjects by forcing them to consume rats. This inevitably led to his knights throwing him down the Great Well, after cutting off his arm and gouging his eyes. He forced himself to survive by consuming rats but didn't die, eventually using the last of his magic to turn himself into a statue, becoming worshipped by the rats. If context clues weren't enough, Clive is talking about Sotiris from Lost in Vivo, Kira's previous title. One of the monsters is a tree monster called the Gloom Wood. Castle Le Fanu is named after Sheridan Le Fanu; the author of Carmilla;the reference further reinforced by the Lesbian Vampire power-couple that used to rule it.

 Lunacid (Video Game) / int_d028e0da
comment
An Arm and a Leg: This is a significant gameplay mechanic. Damaging specific body parts allows you to partly dismember enemies, potentially weakening them or removing their ability to use certain attacks. You yourself also get this treatment by an Old Man at the beginning of the game, resulting in you only having one hand to fight with.
