You play as Lumi, whose search for her missing grandfather takes her beyond the city gates and through Lumino City. Along the way, she meets residents and learns more about the city and her grandfather.
Explore the city by point and click, inspect its unusual buildings, and talk with the people who live there. Helping residents and uncovering clues leads you from one area and challenge to the next.
The puzzles center on observing details and working out how devices and mechanisms function. The city’s scenery was made as physical miniature sets with paper, card, lights, and motors; an in-game handbook offers hints for puzzles.
Players often praise the handcrafted miniature-city visuals, describing them as distinctive and full of detail. Many also enjoy the varied, thought-provoking puzzles and the story’s gentle, charming tone. Some find puzzles unclear or overly obscure, and reviews also mention awkward clicking and slow movement as frustrations.
