At a glance

Luxuria Superbia is a colorful, musical game of interaction by Tale of Tales. Its play centers on touching and moving through twelve flower-like tunnels, with a garden and temple connecting the experience. Each tunnel begins without color; as you touch it, color fills the space. The pace matters: the game rewards staying in a blooming flower and moving slowly, while pushing through too quickly results in failure. Completing flowers unlocks the next one. Time spent in each flower also grows its matching temple column, and repeated journeys gradually bring color to the garden. The game is listed as casual, simulation and action, as well as action, casual, indie and simulation on Steam. It supports single-player, multiplayer, shared or split screen, full controller support, Remote Play Together and Family Sharing. Listed platforms include Windows, macOS, Linux and Ouya. Tale of Tales is both developer and publisher. The Steam release date is Jan 28, 2014; the supplied year is 2013.
