With a set built entirely out of paper and cardboard, and sumptuously filmed, Lume is an adventure game with a style unlike any other. Power to your grandad’s house has failed. What’s more, he’s nowhere to be seen. Immerse yourself in Lume’s photoreal world, solve perplexing paper puzzles to help restore the power, and uncover a deeper mystery behind the blackout. This game forms Part 1 of a larger, ongoing story. ***Nominated for Excellence in Visual Art – IGF Awards 2012***
The visual style of this game really is gorgeous, though I found the puzzles a bit tricky. I felt like I was just thrown into the advanced stage of a puzzle game without much warm up and without any hints or clues as to how to find the solutions.
I'd love to see more though, so I'm crossing my fingers for part 2 ^_^
