What it is
Lumino City is a handmade puzzle adventure from State of Play. Play as Lumi, who sets out to find her grandfather after he returns at the end of Lume. Explore unusual homes and other places beyond the city gates, learn more about her grandfather, and solve mechanisms that help the citizens restore power. The game’s city was built as a ten-foot model from paper and card, with individually wired lights and motors; laser cutting was also used in its construction. Its settings include gardens in the sky, houses cut into cliffs, and towers perched on a waterwheel. Lumino City is a single-player game for Windows and macOS, with Family Sharing. Its listed genres are adventure, casual and indie. It continues Lumi’s story from Lume, but the central activity here is exploring the city and using ingenuity to work out its puzzles. The game was released in 2014.
