![]() Something nice to round off a year that’s felt ever so mean. Playful and warm, a pop-up book that expands into our world then runs free in our imaginations. It brings the feeling of exploring the best children’s books. Good hearted, well intentioned, and kind. There may be frustrations, but Lumino City is something good. (There’s a fair share of mischief as well). Puzzles often feel less like obstacles, but gestures towards other citizens, or simple moments of play. Lumi, our protagonist, is a kind soul, and her adventure is littered with charming vignettes and good deeds. It’s thoroughly imaginative, and swollen with a compassionate spirit. The journey through this tiny city is full of wonder. There’s a compassionate spirit to Lumino City. These moments are thankfully overshadowed by the experience of the whole. The methods to complete these puzzles feel fairly obvious once pointed out, but getting to that point proves to be a chore. While it does highlight points of interaction when needed, these moments proved to be the most frustrating, especially in contrast to the more languid pacing of the game. It’s at its worst when it needs you to do something with particular timing. Lumino City is an award-winning hand-made Puzzle Adventure game. It works, but at times it gets a bit fussy about where you need to be pointing to. Lumino City’s interface operates similarly to Machinarium, limiting you to interacting with only preset points and mechanisms. These same limits mean the boundaries of the spaces are more obvious. The lighting, framing and shots are each carefully set, and the limits of the method ensure that there are no wasteful scenes. There’s a library, with unique books for each letter of the alphabet, and posters that line stations walls. There’s a level of fidelity unique to Lumino City. There’s handyman’s workbook filled with page upon page of illustrations and notes. It feels both surreal and entirely believable. It’s a novel method that means everything has real, actually weight and heft to it. Instead of model a world in the digital realm, State of Play has instead created one of physical, actual materials, then brought those into the digital space. Lumino City is a space constructed from elements both digital and physical. With Lumino City, State of Play has found another intersection, one between the digital and the real. My favorite games lie in that illusion, in the intersection between the digital worlds in front of me and the physical contact of play. One of the most beautiful things about games is that they create spaces that can’t exist, then imbue them with a physicality through participatory friction. Even if you click randomly, sooner or later the correct solution will be found.A trip to the intimate microcosm of Lumino City Begin by exploring the city, and using your ingenuity piece together all sorts of puzzling mechanisms to help the people who live in its unique world. The plus is that it is impossible to make a mistake on the level. Lumino City Sequel to the award-winning game Lume, Lumino City begins where that game left off. It should be noted that the desired objects are not highlighted, but the solution to the puzzle lies in one place. And if at first these were simple tasks, like sequential mouse clicks on the lock, then by the end of Lumino City the character will be able to fix the switchboard, play the guitar, knock out the code on a punched card, insert lenses in a certain order, processing photo materials, etc. Puzzles and quests gradually become more difficult as the action progresses. Ultimately, the loss will be found in the most unexpected place, but the main heroine will be so glad to meet the old man that it will not matter. And besides, she can find things like a pamphlet of views or an album of old photos so cute, although she doesn’t encourage them in the plot at all. By interacting with the residents, the girl will receive tips and instructions on what and how to do next. ![]() Vervet monkey lover, captain being “rocked” while flying, husband and his imaginary wife, crickets and many others. The city is inhabited by a variety of characters. The fact is that all objects in this game are made by hand from paper and cardboard using scissors, thread and glue. She alone does not have to explore a house, but an entire craft town. Little why Lumi is in search of her mysteriously missing inventor grandfather. Lumino city Is a continuation of the Lume puzzle, from the moment the players of the first part stopped.
