Lunacid is a 2023 indie first-person action role-playing video game developed and published by KIRA LLC. The game was released on October 30, 2023, for Windows. Lunacid is inspired by the King's Field series and similar games, with purposely low-detail graphics resembling those of a PlayStation title. Set in a dark fantasy world, the player character, implied to be accused of thievery, is banished into the Great Well, an underworld of sorts from which none have returned alive. They resolve to reach the bottom and confront the Dreamer, a sleeping ancient creature.
