Lorn's Lure News

Start your picks!



I just wanted to let y'all know that the speedrunning community is up and RUNNING (get it?).

I hope this community grows, as I seriously enjoy watching the runs, and would love to see it hit GDQ one day!

If you're a runner, check it out here:

NG+ is definitely the most popular option, but still hoping a full NG run gets completed soon :)

Good luck!

What Next???



Just wanted to let you all know what I'm working on since the first two updates have been released.

[h3]1. Explorer Mode[/h3]
I've heard your concerns about how a few sections are very challenging, and not what was promised on the Steam page. This is totally fair, and I want to apologize - my creative drive went rogue.

However I want to make it up to you by adding an Explorer mode! This will remove the time pressure from chapter 3 and 8; it will add platforms and checkpoints in certain areas to make it a smoother experience as well.

I'm currently struggling with how to change the last chapter for obvious reasons, but I'll think of something!

[h3]2. Modding Support[/h3]
After Explorer Mode is sorted out, I want to make tools to help folks mod the game!

The goal is to provide a bunch of prefabs in a template unity project, where you can make your own challenge levels, or even an entire level!

At the same time the community also seems to be working on modding in the more difficult way. Let's see who figures it out first!

There is more on the horizon, but I'll reveal as I go :)

[h3]Steam Deck Verified![/h3]
I also wanted to announce that Lorn's Lure has just been fully Steam Deck Verified!
Green checkmark and all.

[h3]Mac M2 Support[/h3]
Recently some of you raised that Steam displays a warning that Lorn's Lure doesn't work on the latest Mac OSes. This is FALSE! It absolutely does work on it, but not sure why it's labelled that way, so I'll work with Steam support to figure it out.

Stay tuned for more!

Jump and climb through huge structures in the creepy and atmospheric Lorn's Lure

Lorn's Lure is a thoroughly odd game. It's all about jumping and climbing your way through these huge structures, with a creepy and lonely atmosphere it's certainly a unique experience not found elsewhere.

Another Smaller Update

Had to make a smaller followup update after some issues were reported.

  • Full Run and Crystal Run achievements should now load :)
  • Chapter 6 loading bug likely fixed (There was a case where the culling group did not trigger when scanning)
  • Chapter 8 path obstruction bug likely fixed (trigger logic changed to be consistent with saving checkpoint)
  • Fixed a slide in the chapter 8 tutorial area
  • Chapter 4 now correctly only has 4 scans vs 5


Note that if you're in the middle of Chapter 6 or 8, you should restart the level to make sure these items are applied.

Also there's an issue where settings reset when I update.
I'll try to solve this in a future update. But for now, don't put your headphones on, cause global audio maxes out :P

Cheers!
