About Lumien
Lumien is a fast-paced third-person platformer in which you explore the ruins of an ancient civilization and breathe life back into it. On your way past the various defenses, you'll be helped by the Orbs, fueled by the mysterious powers of the civilization.
Rapid Platforming

To match the existing dangers, you'll have to acquire the civilization's technology, through various abilities. These will let you advance faster and faster and overcome previously insurmountable obstacles.
Unique Orbs
Beyond the diverse movement abilities, you'll be able to use various orbs. These orbs work both as an extension of your movement and as your best means to dodge enemies. You'll be able to send them in specific directions and then activate them manually to unleash their special powers.
Interactive Obstacles

On your way, traps and enemies await you, which will try to stop you. You'll encounter spike traps, guided by the self-defense system of civilization. But those obstacles can also bring you closer to your goal if you manipulate them cleverly. Additionally, with the orbs you can have an influence on the state of the level, which can disable traps or allow you to bypass them completely.
Key Features
- Simultaneous coordination of up to two orbs with unique abilities
- An interactive environment that you can manipulate with the help of the orbs
- Fast-paced third-person platforming with a dash of action
- An underground civilization characterized by a mysterious knowledge network

Lumien is a third-person platforming adventure that places its strongest emphasis on fast traversal, environmental interaction, and an unusual ability system involving controllable orbs. Developed by MI Matrikel 20 and published by Hochschule Mittweida, the game emerged from a large student project, and that experimental background can be felt throughout the experience. It contains creative ideas that distinguish it from conventional 3D platformers, although its unfinished Early Access condition prevents those ideas from developing into a fully realized adventure. The game takes place within the remains of a mysterious underground civilization. Players explore abandoned structures, ancient technology, hazardous machinery, and forgotten pathways while attempting to restore life to this strange world. Rather than relying on constant dialogue or lengthy cinematic sequences, much of the atmosphere comes from exploring these environments and gradually discovering what the civilization left behind. There is an appealing sense of isolation to the setting, with the mechanical ruins providing both the backdrop and many of the obstacles encountered during exploration. Traversal is the cent…
Best Game for Speedruns, big Love
If you like to look at pretty things this is great for you. If you like playing games, this ain't it chief. I think the devs made really nice graphics before making the base game fun. Cool for a student project.
