Lux umbra

Lux umbra is an exploration and horror game about a person who wakes after a car accident with no memory of who they are or what happened. You explore a strange, hostile world, search for clues about your past and try to uncover the truth behind the place.

The world

The freely accessible, hand-crafted world includes dark forests, abandoned towns, forgotten ruins and eerie marshlands. Its maps are not randomly generated; each location is designed with hidden places, secrets and story details. Tides and other changing conditions are not mentioned, but the world is described as strange and frighteningly alive, with shadows, red light, distant sounds and haunting music shaping its atmosphere.

Explore and investigate

You search ruined locations, forgotten paths and isolated areas for clues and story elements. Notes, recordings, mysterious documents, PADs and memory fragments reveal pieces of your character’s past. Each level provides new information about both the character and the world.

As you venture farther, you encounter terrifying creatures, strange places and disturbing discoveries. The game combines exploration and adventure with horror, psychological tension and a persistent sense of unease.
