Lunacy is a native Swift app that brings the classic interactive After Dark screensaver game Lunatic Fringe to modern macOS (Ventura or later) with a built-in emulation engine running the original game module unchanged. Users must provide their own copy of the Lunatic Fringe module from the original More After Dark package, then can enjoy features like full screen mode, customizable keybindings, an optional CRT shader, and global high score tracking. This revival allows longtime fans to play the iconic space shooter natively on current Apple hardware.
