A little light relief

Lumen is a game that is full of allure and character yet, despite its gorgeous looks, it is prone to repetitive gameplay. It boasts a huge number of levels, but this is a game that is best enjoyed in short bursts.

You must complete puzzles contained within an old music box-style contraption that once belonged to a woman named Olivia McLumen, who has hidden details of her life within the box. Solve its riddles and you can relive these moments through photographs and recordings of her voice.
