Puzzle platformers are a dime a dozen nowadays as a lot of independent developers first try their hands at making 2D titles just like the ones they played back in the early days of gaming.
Spanish developer Beautifun Games also followed this strategy but, fortunately, added quite a few new elements, not to mention a bold art style, to the classic recipe.
The result is Nihilumbra, a lightweight game that puts players in the shoes of a small being trying to escape the void while exploring the world and finding its place in it. In order to make the title stand out, plenty of different powers are acquired throughout the story.
Can Nihilumbra deliver a great experience or should the void devour it? Let's find out.
| | Start small ... | ... and explore the world | [color]
Nihilumbra focuses on a small being that's escaped the all-powerful Void. It takes a special approach to storytelling, as the adventures of the small being are brought to life through the voice of a narrator who constantly questions the player’ motivation and goals, while providing different details about the powers you acquire, the environments you explore, or the enemies you'll meet.
