Nihilumbra

Nihilumbra is BeautiFun Games' atmospheric puzzle platformer, where Born, a small creature separated from the Void itself, runs across five distinct worlds while the Void chases relentlessly behind, devouring everything in its path. Born can paint the terrain with five colors, each granting different physics properties to the ground beneath him.

Blue freezes water and surfaces, red sets things on fire, green makes surfaces bouncy, brown adheres objects in place, yellow conducts electricity. Layering colors and combining them with environmental elements solves puzzles and creates traps for the Void's minions. The mechanic stays consistent across worlds but escalates in complexity.

The campaign tells its melancholic story almost entirely through environmental design and a sparingly used narrator. After completing the main game, the Void Mode unlocks: a harder challenge tier reusing all the same levels with significantly stiffer puzzle demands. The remastered Steam version adds voice acting, widescreen support, HD textures, a remastered soundtrack by Álvaro Lafuente, an art gallery, atmospheric improvements and a revised control scheme.
