The original Planet of Lana is a game that has stayed with me since its release back in 2023. Its Ghibli-inspired 2D art direction, its story told in a made-up language, its swelling and emotive music – all of these areas are still, to me, some of the most beautiful in games today. However, I’ve always felt that developer Wishfully was just scratching the surface with Planet of Lana, and could push to do more with the land of Novo and its intricacies.
