Quick answer
Start with Zehronn if your group loves spatial puzzles and creepy alien mysteries. Choose LUNA if you prefer a character-driven story with emotional stakes and unique programming mechanics.
Story and atmosphere differences
LUNA puts you inside your stalwart companion for a heartfelt repair mission. The tension comes from caring for something that feels alive, with damage that 'may go deeper than her circuits.'
Zehronn drops you into a cavernous labyrinth of ancient crystal formations that house the entombed bodies of a mysterious alien species. The memories of those beings live on in the crystal — and soon in you. The mood is eerie, archaeological, and cerebral.
Mechanical focus
LUNA introduces unique movement mechanics and a programming line that represents your interactions with LUNA’s internal systems. This creates a thoughtful, puzzle-like sequence where planning and emotional payoff are tightly linked.
Zehronn rewards flexible thinking. Navigating its crystalline maze and piecing together ancient memories requires a group that can adapt and communicate well. The puzzles are more spatial and memory-based than LUNA's linear programming challenge.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Emotional vs. cerebral tone: LUNA is an emotional repair mission. Zehronn is an eerie archaeological puzzle. Choose the one that matches your group's preferred mood for game night.
- Mechanics: programming vs. exploration: LUNA uses a programming line to simulate interacting with internal systems. Zehronn relies on flexible thinking and memory to navigate crystal tunnels and alien entombments.
- Expansion vs. standalone feel: Both are expansion content requiring the Unsettled® Framework. LUNA feels like a focused character side-quest; Zehronn feels like a full exploratory planet. If your group is new to Unsettled, starting with a planet that feels more complete (like Zehronn) may be smoother.
