After 256 years, Lorn's Lure is finally out! (Note that it might take Steam a little while to propagate availability everywhere)

What you should know

• 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!

What's next?

• 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.

Lorn's Lure is an atmospheric narrative first-person platformer with novel climb-anything mechanics and modernized retro 3D graphics.

Leaving his home colony while tracking a mysterious glitch, an android finds himself in the midst of a vast and dangerous structure, completely hidden from his people's knowledge. Unable to go back, you must keep going to find out where he is being led... And why he left in the first place.

• Dark foreboding atmosphere
  
• Retro 90s PC graphics, with a modern flair.
  
• Uncover mysterious lore as you travel into the depths.
  
• Jump, climb, slide, and scan your way around difficult challenges, using simple mechanics.
  
• No "Parkour Ledges". Climb almost any vertical wall face using your pickaxes!
  
• It's a tough game, but not frustrating! Mistakes are not punished by redoing lengthy sections.
  
• Play fast or slow. Take in the sights as you traverse, or play as fast as a speed runner.
