Info about LunarLux:

Official game description:
LunarLux is an anime-inspired action-adventure RPG that takes place on the Moon! A thousand years ago, humanity lived on the now volcanic and lifeless earth-like planet known as Terra. Due to the planetary catastrophe, ASTRA, humans were forced to find a new home. Unfortunately, no habitable planet existed within a reasonable distance, so the remaining survivors made their way to Luna, the moon that orbits Terra.
Filled with hope, dreams, and determination, Humanity continued to survive and flourish in a new home. Centuries later in the year 30XX, Luna became home to some of the most brilliant human minds in existence (and their creations). However, humanity's existence is now threatened by an oncoming antimatter comet - the same comet that wiped out the people of Terra a thousand years ago!
Join Lunar Warrior Bella as she fights her way across the Moon to find a way to destroy the comet before it wipes out life as we know it! Battle the mysterious monsters known as Murks using a hybrid turn & action-based battle system, uncover the secrets of a lost civilization, and save the Moon!
Grab your gear and set out across the moonscape. Enjoy a stroll through the Lunar landscape or take flight and zip around the maps with your Jet Suit! You can also fly to different locations on Luna with your own customizable spaceship!
LunarLux also mixes real-world scientific theories with sci-fi concepts to explore the many ways in which humanity can live on the moon!
In LunarLux, Almost EVERYTHING is interactable! Make friends with the local rocks (You read that correctly), enjoy the hidden easter eggs and references, pet the dogs 20 times for unique dialogue and interactions, dumpster dive through every trashcan forever in search of hidden items, and so much more!
Braving the moonscape will require more than just a good eye and patience for clicking. In LunarLux's unique turn & action battle system: Timing is just as important as choosing attacks!
Obtain up to 40 Active Skills and 30 Support Skills, with their own unique mechanics to master!
Unleash powerful attacks known as Lux Combo, combining and stacking Active and Support skills to create thousands of possible combos! Once your Lux Meter fills up in battle, you can perform a Lux Combo by choosing ANY 3 Active Skills to Stack together! Stacking 3 of the same Skill usually results in a unique combo, but the most powerful attacks require more specific combinations – all of which can be found through recipe items while exploring the moon!
Up to 30 Unique Combos can be performed!
Complete missions with your trusty robot sidekick Tetra! Tetra will be able to DIVE into malfunctioning networks (via control panels) to assist Bella during missions! Each Network will look distinctly different from others with its own mini-game challenges to overcome! Each network is rendered in a beautiful retro 8-bit style; a perfect aesthetic for a feature that involves hacking into computers and the digital world!
Experience a story-rich plot filled with twists and turns! Not only are you tasked with stopping the comet and fighting Murks, but you also have to contend with strong rivals like the Murk Slayer; a ruthless treasure hunter who distrusts authority and seeks justice for the corruption and crimes committed against him.
There's a conspiracy afoot, and a mystery to be unraveled! Will Bella and Tetra be able to find the true villain lurking in the shadows?
Science and Knowledge... are the ultimate power! Soon, humanity will witness the infinite potential of the universe’s strongest cosmic energy: Antimatter! In LunarLux, “The power of Science is Astronomical!”

Feature scans:
- Proton/Linux: score 18; verdict: Works Well; summary: Only one relevant review mentions a possible Steam Deck/Linux-only issue, but it is described as rare and not worth fixing. There is no evidence of launch failure, anti-cheat/DRM blocking, repeated Proton switching, or major compatibility workarounds. Linux/Proton compatibility appears largely functional with negligible friction.
- Steam Deck: score 45; verdict: Tinkering Required; summary: The audit finds that the game is largely playable on Steam Deck, with users reporting no major problems. However, there are notable friction points: a reproducible error when losing event battles, occasional Linux-specific bugs, and incorrect controller prompts (PS layout shown for Xbox controllers). The game does not require Proton Experimental or launcher workarounds, and no anti-cheat or unreadable UI issues were reported. Overall friction is moderate.

- Hardware Profile: No data
Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $15.00 - $20.00
  - Reasoning: One reviewer explicitly states that around €18.50 is fully worth it, anchoring the fair base price near US$20. Other positive reviewers frequently emphasize buying on sale, suggesting the community is comfortable in the US$15–20 range but often waits for discounts. There is no evidence supporting a higher base-game price.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: 15.0h
  - Story completion: 10.0h
  - Session length: N/A
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: The review explicitly states the story is about 10 hours, so storyCompletion is set to 10. Another player reports fully beating the game in around 15 hours on their first run, and a separate playtime summary gives 10-15 hours of gameplay, supporting gameCompletion as about 15 hours. No review provides a specific typical session duration, and no review gives a numeric hour count specifically for postgame/endgame content, so sessionLength and endgame remain null.
- Time-to-fun:
  - Summary: LunarLux often has early growing pains, slow Lux meter buildup, and unclear tutorials, but many players say it clicks after midgame skill upgrades, expanded options, or a second party member; a minority report being hooked within the first hour.
  - Stance: Clicks after
  - Anchor: Reaching midgame and unlocking skill upgrade/customization
  - Time to anchor: N/A
  - Friction: Growing pains getting started; Slow Lux meter buildup before mid-late game; Tutorial appears later through an optional NPC, causing early confusion; Several battle moves or skills feel ineffective or useless; Repetitive fights or slog at times; Crashes and softlocks
  - Unlock drivers: Midgame skill upgrade and customization; Second party member opens gameplay mechanic possibilities; Options expand around halfway point and reduce tedium; Unlocking Relic Sword makes Lux meter usable; More traversal options and gameplay types appear; Skill loadout customization reduces combat repetition
  - Conditions: Enjoyment often depends on reaching midgame or around halfway point; Skipping side quests or exploration can make pacing feel rushed; Completing side quests can make late game somewhat easier; Focusing on shield support skill improves passive shield gain; Late-game stun strategies can become too strong; Late-game skill viability and enemy difficulty affect enjoyment
