Planet of Lana, an indie sci-fi adventure game with a sequel announced at the Xbox Game Showcase 2025 is currently on sale on Steam at a big discount. The game tells a beautiful sci-fi story and boasts a "Very Positive" rating.

The world of indie games is filled with games with inspiring visuals. One such game is Planet of Lana. This sci-fi adventure from Wishfully marries a simple yet beautiful aesthetic, a thought-provoking soundtrack, and puzzle-solving gameplay to deliver a memorable indie experience. The game has now recorded a massive 75% price cut on Steam.

Coming in at just $4.99, Planet of Lana deserves a spot on your wishlist, as the game boasts a Metacritic of 80 and a “Very Positive” user rating on Steam. The main contributors to these high scores are the game’s artistic visuals, beautiful soundtrack, and sci-fi story.

Planet of Lana takes place off-Earth, on a quaint planet attacked by alien robots. Alongside her cute furry companion named “Mui”, the main character, Lana, undertakes a journey to follow the robot that kidnapped her sister. 

The journey takes Lana and Mui across epic landscapes, including lush forests, sandy deserts, interesting sci-fi spaces, and more. The aesthetic of the game is stunning. Euro Gamer described it as “very stylish, with those pastel hand-painted grasses and fairytale trees giving way to different lands, all of which balance beauty and readability.”

On the journey, players solve puzzles, traverse obstacles, and bypass enemies to move forward. However, some gamers who are used to titles with hard puzzles might find Planet of Lana simplistic.

That said, the gameplay of Planet of Lana still has some depth with layered puzzles and the fact that it is the primary story-telling medium.

Planet of Lana system requirements

Planet of Lana is not a hard game to run in any way. The recommended requirements include:

So, even if you own a mid-range gaming PC from a few years ago, you should be able to play Planet of Lana without issues.
