My biggest pleasant surprise of 2025 so far has been the free prequel to one of my favorite indie RPGs, made with FromSoft's 25-year-old game making toolset

Key art of the videogame Lunacid, showing a pale, long haired knight in purple armor contemplating a purple, flaming sword surrounded by the different phases of the moon.

2023's Lunacid is one of my favorite indies, dungeon crawlers, and just games, period of the last few years. It's a first person RPG taking after FromSoftware's King's Field series, set in an unforgettable subterranean world festooned with secrets. Creator Kira LLC has just released their next project, a follow-up to Lunacid, but there are more than a few twists to it.

Lunacid: Tears of the Moon is a prequel set thousands of years before the main game, and it was made with appropriately primeval tools: Sword of Moonlight, a game making toolset based on King's Field, released by FromSoft in 2000, and maintained by a dedicated community ever since.
