How do you pronounce the title?
Is it LUNA-cid or Loon-ACID?

I've been saying Loon ACID all this time.

Luna is latin for 'the moon'. I don't know what 'cid' is meant to be other than a suffix to make the name stand out more.

Luna = moon, also a play on lunacy
Acid = drug

That's how I read it

Luna - cid
But "cid" you ought to pronounce more like "sit" but with "d" at the end, not like "kid". It's because it's latin.

"Cid" can be a variant of "cis", which means "kill" or "cut" so if wanted to translate the title the english it would mean probably a "killing moon"
Another option is that it could mean "fall", then translation would be "moonfall".
It depends if it's a form of a word "cis" or if it's just a word "cid"

Personally i would go for the option of a "moonfall" because of game lore.


@I know i edited it a few times, in case someone read it already, i just started writing about it before fully reading into it.

The title is a combination of "luna" and "lucid", the game's two major themes are the moon and lucid dreams. So it should be pronounced like both.

Loon Ah Seed. Or as you said, Loon ACID.

Seems to be a combination of: Luna, which in latin means "the luminous one", the moon, and Acid, which is both related to the creation myth of the world, and the overall cosmic + acid trip feeling of the game. As explained in the manual: "Silver liquid fell from the moon and made a deep passage into the earth". The silver acid, dripping from the moon, created a massive hole in the earth, and the tunnels beneath.

I take it as a mix of lunacy and lucid personally.

think the acid here is more a reference to the moon dissolving/melting
