Funomena’s VR game Luna immerses you in the world of a little bird

Funomena showed off its soothing virtual reality game Luna at a recent preview event. I played it in a hands-on demo, narrated by Funomena CEO Robin Hunicke. Luna is an open-ended puzzle and creativity game, driven by a story about a cute bird.

Hunicke was a co-creator of Journey, one of the most mesmerizing game experiences of 2012. Since that time, she co-founded her independent game studio and is building a series of titles that feel Journey-like in that they are very creative and unlike many experiences you’ll see in mainstream games.
