Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf Uses an Invented Language to Enhance Its Story

Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf expands the 2023 sci‑fi puzzle platformer by replacing almost all spoken dialogue with a handcrafted, gibberish language. The language began as four command cues for the cat‑like companion Mui and has grown into richer, contextual speech for the sequel. Wishfully Studios will sell a deluxe‑edition primer that decodes the language, though it isn’t required to follow the story. The game launches March 5 on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC, pairing the invented tongue with a moody score and expressive animation to tell its tale.
