About the Game

**LUMEN BLACK**

The world of Lumen has gone dark. The light that once held the shadows at bay has failed, and something ancient stirs at the center of everything — the Heart of the Darkness.

You are **Vesper**, a hooded wanderer carrying the last lantern. Your light is the only thing keeping the dark away — and the only way forward. Aim it to reveal **phantom platforms** that exist only in the light, freeze the creatures that hunt you, and solve the puzzles the darkness has built to stop you.

**Cross five realms** of growing danger, from the fading edges of the world to the pulsing core of the Dark — and face the Heart itself.

**Features**

- 🔦 **Light as a tool and a weapon** — normal, intense and flash modes. Reveal hidden platforms, burn back the shadows, blind your enemies.

- 🌑 **A living darkness** — manage your battery, because in the deep, the dark itself hurts you, and some shadows drain your light.

- 🧩 **Hand-crafted light puzzles** — *Deadly Memory* (cross an invisible path you can only glimpse with a flash), the *Mirror Gallery* (bounce your beam through mirrors to power three sensors), and *Pendulum & Gears* (ride a wave of light across platforms that are only solid when lit).

- 👁️ **Three shadow enemies**, each with its own glowing eyes — the ground Shade, the flying Wraith, and the Stalker that only moves when you're not looking.

- 💀 **A three-phase final boss** — the Heart of the Darkness. Open its core with light, survive its shadows and battery drain, then break its shell with a flash and finish it.

- 🎨 **Moody hand-built atmosphere** — fog, bloom and silhouette backdrops, a different mood for every realm.

*This is the demo: five levels and the first boss. The story continues...*
