Lumino City

Lumino City is a puzzle adventure whose every set was constructed physically rather than rendered. A ten-foot model city was assembled by hand and laser cutter, with each light and motor wired individually, then captured on camera to bring the scenes to glowing life. The result earned a BAFTA.

The story continues from the earlier game Lume: after Lumi welcomes her grandad home, she is swept into a new journey to find him again. Her search leads beyond the city gates, through unusual dwellings, and gradually hints that there may be far more to grandad than he ever let on.

You explore gardens suspended in the sky, towers stranded atop an enormous waterwheel, and houses carved precariously into cliff faces, repairing puzzling mechanisms to restore power for the city's residents. Studio State of Play built the game with architects, fine artists, prop-makers, and animators, each trade leaving its mark on the finished work.
