Lucid

IGDIGD—August 23, 20230

LUCID is an action platformer set in a crystal-punk world torn apart by dissonance. As Oenn, absorb powerful abilities that expand movement and enhance combat, enabling you to take on acrobatic obstacles and a wide array of enemies and bosses.

Blending carefully crafted pixel art with contemporary atmospheric elements, LUCID delivers an experience that seamlessly combines nostalgia with modern gaming.
Discover your legend, fulfill a solemn promise, and see the world through lucid eyes.

features

  • Tight controls are the foundation of LUCID’s design. As an extension of the player, Oenn is a joy to handle. While you navigate the platforming puzzles and master the airborne combat you will enter the oh-so sought after flow state.
  • Learn powerful new abilities known as Crystal Arts, like the Crystal Blade, Crystal Spear, and Crystal Axe! Each Crystal Art modifies mobility and enhances combat in different ways, offering a range of player expression for traversing the world and vanquishing your foes.
  • Play LUCID your way. Choose to focus on your favourite two Crystal Arts, or master the quick swap and become a jack of all trades. Unearth and craft dozens of Talismans that alter how Oenn fights and moves.
  • Equip Talisman Sets that grant bonus effects, and strategize the perfect synergistic build for your playstyle.
  • Uncover the mysteries of the world known as Aedyn! Vast and interconnected, you can decide when to ascend the frigid Onyx Ridge, traverse the glittering Crystal Caverns, or descend into the gloom of Welltown.
  • Find and create new paths to biomes thought to be fully completed to obtain new treasures and secrets.
  • Encounter a diverse and vibrant cast of characters, from the close-knit Sentinels in the Petrified Forest to the down-and-out slumdogs of Beacon City. Each character you meet has a story of their own, and it’s up to Oenn to help them restore the balance in their lives as he seeks to heal a fractured world.
