I had to stop playing during the third Lumen Pool because my own heart rate fell out of sync with the game, and the resulting discordance triggered a mild anxiety attack. I mean this as the highest compliment.
For fans of Dear Esther who thought it was too optimistic. For players who spend twenty minutes in character creators. For anyone who has ever felt that the act of choosing a path is more exhausting than walking it.
Just don’t play it on a Sunday evening. You will not sleep.
v2.10 introduces a branching path around the halfway point—the "Heretic’s Causeway," a narrow bridge of fossilized bones that loops back to the start rather than progressing. Most players will avoid it. Those who don't discover the patch’s secret thesis: the pilgrimage is a lie.
Lumen / 10 (Review in progress—I haven’t decided yet. Please check back in three to five business days.)
