Greetings friends!

As promised, there will be a second stream with Julian and Tim plus myself playing the Planet of Lana demo in the broadcast. Feel free to tune in February 10 at 5pm CET / 8am PST and join us, Lana and Mui. We'll chat about Planet of Lana in general, about the development of the game, how the idea came about, and much more.

See you there, I hope! ːsteamhappyː

Hello Steam community!

Takeshi Furukawa, composer for Planet of Lana here. In honor of the game’s demo release this week, I’d like to present a preview of the game's original soundtrack:



We recorded the music last summer in Budapest with a 70+ piece orchestra. Additional recordings were done in Los Angeles (piano & guitars) and Tokyo (harp). I’ve also made the scores available for those of you studying music and orchestration. You can see Saki Furuya (orchestrator)’s masterful skills at work.



Everyone at Wishfully and Thuderful has poured their hearts into this wonderful gem. I hope you enjoy the game and music as much as we have creating it.

Warm regards,
Takeshi Furukawa

Exciting times ahead, folks!

Our Planet of Lana Steam Next Fest: February demo is live AS OF NOW! ːsteamhappyː

Scroll down a little bit on the Steam page and press the big green button that says "Download". After a few minutes you can dive into the world of Planet of Lana with Lana and Mui for the very first time!

Depending on your speed and puzzle solving skills, it will take you between 20-30 minutes to make your way through the demo. The gameplay included in the demo is from the beginning of Planet of Lana, where Lana and Mui meet each other for the first time.

All of you playing the demo here at Steam Next Fest will have the honour of trying out our mouse + keyboard controls for the first time - until now Planet of Lana was only playable with a controller. It would be great if you could give us feedback on the controls, and also generally on our demo, because we are very interested in what you think about the game.

We want to offer you the best possible experience with the release of the full game! We've put together a feedback questionaire - click HERE to open it.

Some additional Steam Next Fest information: We are going to stream us (Julian and Tim from Thunderful plus myself) playing the Planet of Lana demo tomorrow and on Friday at 5pm CET / 8am PST on the product page. So, tune in and join us!

Until then, friends. Enjoy playing the demo!

Wishfully's upcoming cinematic platformer Planet Of Lana turned eyes and heads when it was first announced at E3 2021, and the comparison we instantly settled upon was "like Ori meets Inside". At a recent ID@Xbox showcase we attended last week, creative director and Wishfully co-founder Adam Stjärnljus acknowledged that Playdead connection, saying that both Limbo and Inside "had a huge impact on me". But he also said Studio Ghibli's animated film Spirited Away was another key influence, which, yep, that definitely tracks.

"I was very inspired by Studio Ghibli films, and especially the film Spirited Away," Stjärnljus told us. "That's been kind of like a guiding star from the beginning in terms of tonality with this serious, emotional story, but [also] still, like, a fun quirkiness to it, and really this sense of exploring another world, which we really want."
