Lorn's Lure News

OUT NOW!!!

After 256 years, Lorn's Lure is finally out!

(Note that it might take Steam a little while to propagate availability everywhere)

[h2]What you should know[/h2]

Don't forget to leave a review! Pre-launch it's all about wishlists. Post-launch it's all about review count.
I will continue to take feedback and improve the game to ensure it's the best experience!
I was not able to find a South Korean community translator, so if you're out there and willing to help localize, let me know! Until then, it's machine translation :(
Once you unlock New Game +, there is a possibility that you can easily go out of bounds (except for the last chapter). It is near impossible for me to solve this without adding a LOT of geometry, which may impact performance - so I will allow it.
When I make updates, you may have to redo your settings sometimes
If you played the demo, there might have been an update to the control mapping that breaks it in new builds. To fix this, simply reset the control binds!

[h2]What's next?[/h2]

Fixing bugs here and there that folks bring up
Maybe adding features if there is enough demand
Maybe fixing localization issues as folks bring them up
After launch week and enough bug fixing I'll probably take a break
Afterwards, if the game has done well enough, I'll run a poll to see if folks want modding or a VR spinoff next
I'll probably also experiment with an infinite procedural megastructure in parallel to see if this is possible.

Please help boost it!

I hope you enjoy my game!

Amazingly grim retro sci-fi android spelunker Lorn’s Lure finally has a release date

If you like jumping on enveloping pixelly architecture while basking in an atmosphere of pathological sadness, set aside some time on 20th September, because that’s when Rubeki's first-person spelunker Lorn’s Lure launches on Steam. Ah, I've been waiting a while for this one. Catch a new trailer below.

It's Official

New DEMO Live!!!

I've just dropped a new demo that aims to show how the game is NOW, very close to launch.

The previous demo had deviated severely from its current state, so I wanted to update it before releasing the full game.

Localizations are also included, but quality might vary, and there is at least one menu item that is not localized that I know of (that should go away at launch however).

I'm hoping this demo can also help identify game-breaking bugs given the wider audience it will reach - but it should be fairly air tight given Omega testing.

Beyond that, you can expect:
✅New tutorials
✅New crystals
✅New level design
✅More juice
✅New intro cutscene
✅Fully Steamdeck compatible (with cloud saves)
✅Updated menu with more settings
✅New music

And more!

Here's a brief, celebratory teaser trailer as well:

Stay tuned for more!

Aaaaaalmost there now :)

PS
I wasn't able to THOROUGHLY test this demo build cause I couldn't figure out a way to issue keys on steam while the demo was down, crossing fingers there are no major bugs, but don't hesitate to let me know!
