Discover the hand-crafted paper universe!
Lumino City, an inspired puzzle-adventure game taking you to a world where everything was meticulously hand-crafted from paper, is available for Windows and Mac, DRM-free on GOG.com.
In Lumino City, everything you see on screen was made using paper, cardboard and glue. Resulting in building a 10 foot high model city, using laser cutting plus miniature lights and motors to bring it to life. The game's creators collaborated with award-winning architects, fine-artists, prop-makers and animators, each discipline brought something unique to the design and execution of the finished game. Discover gardens in the sky, towers marooned high on an immense waterwheel, and houses dug precariously into cliffs. Now, using your ingenuity piece together all sorts of puzzling mechanisms to help the people who live in its unique world.
There are very few games out there that took as much real-world crafting and fine arts to become reality. Make sure you don't miss one of them - Lumino City, a truly unique GOG.com release.
