About the Game

Lenrual is a short and weird environmental puzzle game with unique mechanics. Jump into an evening in town and find out how things play out. Will you—

  • Make friends?

  • Paint the town gold?

  • Commune with or become a god?

  • Or just go back to sleep once the night settles?

Explore, communicate or figure out things and carve out a place for yourself.

If you like obtuse, cryptic and strange games, dive into Lenrual for an interesting experience.

Important Note: Does not feature a save system upon closing the game.

Lenrual now features a discreet save system!!

Playtime is usually 1-2 hours but once you've figured everything out, you can go from start to finish within 12 minutes 48 seconds(developer's personal speedrun record).

Key features

  • Small, dense open world to freely explore

  • Unique conversation mechanics

  • Interesting puzzles

  • Obtuse interactions

  • Ludonarratives

  • Mechanically diverse branches

Lenrual is an obtuse game with little to no hand holding. If you're lost on what to do, just try out different things and listen to your dreams.
