Cameron and I were able to review Planet of Lana 2 early and I’m gonna straight up say it…

Planet of Lana 2 has the best Star Wars feeling to it. The music, the locations, the audio design… they’re all incredible.

An old man is holding a catapult to the right and his pig is to the left.

They seem to being chased by an owl and a bird in a forestry setting. 

The following quote is also included:  

"Hermit and Pig are unlikely but extremely likeable heroes that will endear any fans of offbeat, satirical RPGS.*
