This has nothing to do with game progression, but we're going to be creating different costumes for Lumisa. One of the problems with this is that we can't actually create them until the main character's movements and animations have been fully finalized (since having to make just one adjustment means having to fix every single costume), and so now we're finally about ready to start working on them. Those of you who have received costume keys as rewards will be receiving a file separate from the game from which you can obtain the keys. Once the keys are applied to the game, you'll see a number representing the number of keys you have at the bottom-right side of the title screen. These keys will allow you to open up costume treasure chests in the game and add the costumes to your inventory. Players who have not received costume keys as rewards will have to acquire them by fulfilling certain conditions in the game. Also, adding reward costume keys will only work on the PC version. We unfortunately don't have a way to add this feature to consoles... The merit of getting costume keys as rewards is that you'll be able to obtain said costumes before everyone else. But either way, the costumes are hidden inside the ruins, so you won't be able to get your hands on them right away anyway.

LA-MULANA is an “Archaeological Ruin Exploration Action Game,” bringing the classic appeal of adventure with the punishing difficulty of retro-inspired gaming. Search inside ancient ruins, seeking out the “Secret Treasure of Life” – which sleeps in the sprawling ruins of “LA-MULANA” and is said to be the beginning of all civilization. Unfortunately, priceless artifacts very rarely give themselves up easily.

Apart from the plethora of traps lying in wait, there are also monsters on the prowl, protecting the ruins. Head for the innermost depths of the ruins while solving a variety of mysteries, fending off monsters, and disarming traps. Forging ahead will be no simple task – the further into the depths you reach, the more difficult the mysteries become. The guardians of LA-MULANA do not take their job lightly.

LA-MULANA on Steam is the PC port version of the acclaimed remake for WiiWare. One of the first NIGORO games, LA-MULANA was originally created back in the creators’ “amateur” days and has been renown worldwide.
This game was created based on “that old-time feeling.” The creators wished to play the sort of games that enthralled them back in the day, only with more volume. The operability and difficulty level are certainly not “new school”. However, this game is highly recommended to gamers seeking out that feeling of total immersion that allows you to go full-on head-to-head with a game not found in somewhat lighter terms.

Coming up on it's ninth birthday, LA-MULANA continues to captivate, frustrate and annihilate new and old players alike. Whether it's your first time falling into the ruins or your 900th of getting decimated by Mushussu, we thank you for donning your explorer's hat, hoisting the whip and diving into our game.

Good luck. You're going to need it.
