🌌 Alumbra Project

🎯 Overview

Alumbra is a narrative-driven overhead adventure about memory, identity, and the persistence of light against oblivion.

You are a nameless soul, fragmented and lost in a decadent underworld that has forgotten how to mourn. Armed with nothing but a magic lantern, you must navigate through darkness, activate ancient lights, and piece together fragments of a shattered identity.

The core question: Can light hold back the darkness? Can memory persist without a witness?

🎮Gameplay

• Light vs Darkness mechanic: Heal under light, take damage in darkness
• Energy management: Lantern drains with use; recharge at safe zones
• 5 progressively challenging levels with unique layouts
• Collectible Memory Cubes: Piece together narrative through poetic texts
• Checkpoint system: Die and respawn at your last Lumora activation
