Halloween 2018 Special: making Lumino City s lemon in a lemon sauce

Lumino City

The BAFTA award winning handmade puzzle adventure game made entirely by hand. Explore the city and use your ingenuity to piece together puzzling mechanisms and bring back power to this unique world. Three years in the making, it's handmade entirely out of paper, card, miniature lights and motors.

Lumino City came out in 2014, but it remains one of my most favourite ever puzzle games. I go back to it probably once a year at least, because it’s a soothing little happy place. Like how when I’m chronically hungover I watch This Is Spinal Tap. It’s a puzzle game made with a physical model of a little city, and I am incapable of getting over that fact. I felt that it was an ideal game to write about for a day of lovely cute features.

Miniature models involve a lot of detail work, and Lumino City has a lot of other unnecessary details. When I started playing it earlier this week to get a feel for it again, I found that one of these details is a recipe for “Lemon in a Lemon Sauce.” With instructions. So I made Lemon in a Lemon Sauce.
