World

The World of Anew: The Distant Light is an open-world, side-scrolling Sci-fi-experience. During the explorations, the player will encounter various biomes, all with a different flora and fauna. The game has a day and night cycle, which makes it sometimes hard to survive on the surface of the moon. Some creatures only will come out at day or night.
