Fae Lumina - Victorian Fantasy Puzzle Game Thread

Hey there! We're here to announce that our game, Fae Lumina, which will be releasing on Android and iOS in a couple of weeks and we would love to get as many people playing (and as much feedback) as possible. So, here's a taste of what you will find when you play Fae Lumina.

Game Description

The year is 1858. The Great Stink takes hold of London. Descend into the River Thames, solve puzzles, and battle the corrupted creatures in this atmospheric, fantasy mobile game. You play as a heroic faerie who must wield tactical light abilities to restore Victorian London to its former glory.

Pollution from the surface has corrupted the River Thames and is slowly spreading over the City of London. You must locate and light the lanterns in the depths of the river to expel the darkness spawning from the riverbed.

Fae Lumina is set during an eccentric time period and features historical elements, such as the Thames Tunnel built by Brunel, and The Great Stink itself. Use the environment and London newspapers to gain clues as to your objectives and the events occurring above the surface.

As a river faerie, you will unlock distinctive abilities at every stage. Swap your Light Aura, Body Composition, or Magical Ability at any time to use the environment to your advantage and create devastating obstacles for your enemies.
