Here Lumino City respects your intelligence - a contents page that leads you to relevant spot, providing you can solve a simple math problem related to the puzzle. Each problem has its own entry which offers clues to the solution, but there are hundreds of pages that offer no help at all. If puzzles ever prove too complex you always have you granddad’s technical manual to hand. ![]() But there is one through line across all of these problems - they can all be solved using the intuitive interface. Another wants you to place mirrors correctly to reflect light in to a series of rooms, all so you can see the different parts of a code to open a door. One just has you talking to a selection of disgruntled neighbors in the right order so they stop arguing. Lumino City's puzzles vary significantly in complexity - and quality. It’s a feat made all the more impressive once you realize many of the effects are practical and developer, State of Play Games, actually build a 10 foot high model city in which to set the action. The world gently rotates as you move from one puzzle to the next, shifting seamlessly between 2D and 3D, all looking stunning. Instantly setting off to the Lumina City, you begin to meet its many entertaining inhabitants, all of whom have their own mechanical problems that must be solved to progress. It’s the same reason I liked the hidden lemon recipe: each aspect of Lumino City has more detail than it needs to.From the opening scene, in which you explore your grandfather’ house, every screen and puzzle oozes a distinctive tactile style that begs to be explored and touched.īut - before you get a chance to really appreciate the world the developer has created – a noise comes from another room, and Lumi runs out to discover her Grandfather has been kidnapped. And it has the manual, an inbuilt hint system but one with a twist. It has the little interconnecting puzzles. It has the physical model being whimsical and surprising. ![]() It’s my favourite bit because it includes everything that’s lovely about the game. You’ll get instructions for the dark room controls, and a picture of what the labels looked like originally. But then you have to figure out which chemicals to use, and the labels have fallen off into pieces! You have to jigsaw them together! If you get stuck, you can use the manual that the main character’s grandfather left her (although you have to solve a little maths puzzle to find the page you need). Getting them right means it changes the colour filters on the windows so you can develop the photos. Someone broke into it, and to find out who you have to go to its back room, which is a dark room, and figure out the controls. It has two rooms and would probably go for £1500 a month in London. It’s a tall old-timey camera, though, because of course. That is, the entire house is a camera, and it takes pictures of whoever comes through the door. You find a house that is its own security camera. My favourite bit of the game is near the start. And that city is a physical model, with the characters mapped onto it. Lumino city is a puzzle adventure where you navigate a little city that runs on all sorts of unusual machinery. I recently replayed Lumino City, for the purposes of following a joke recipe in it, and made a horrible lemon dish (it was lemony). One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
