Lux — an atmospheric 2D fantasy-adventure mobile game concept set in a dark, post-catastrophe medieval world. You are the bearer of the last Lux, a mystical lantern that illuminates haunted villages and ruins as you uncover the disaster’s secrets, solve magic-tied puzzles, and make choices that shape whether hope returns or darkness prevails.
Platform: Mobile
Core pillars: Story-driven exploration, mystery discovery, choice-led consequences, and puzzle mechanics using the lantern’s magic
Gameplay highlights: Traverse abandoned villages, gather lore fragments, unlock hidden paths, and solve environment-based puzzles that reveal narrative beats
Visual direction: Haunting, painterly 2D backgrounds and character illustrations to evoke a melancholic, mystical tone
Credits / placeholders: Background art by Diep Bui; character art by Jonatan Cantero; rock illustration (puzzle screen) by Rolando Mallada — assets used as placeholders
Tools used: Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Figma
Status: Conceptual design and visual prototype (not a released playable game)
