As an android traversing a huge megastructure, you try to climb and find the mystery of its innards, which is a big challenge in itself. And it's fun.

But, if you’re into challenging platformers like the remaster of the original Crash Bandicoot, then you’re very likely to enjoy this one. Alongside with the aforementioned Chained Together and Jusant, Lorn’s Lure proves that the world of platformers still has a lot of mechanics to be tried out. It’s also revealing just how inhospitable and utterly terrifying platformers can be — in the coolest of ways.

Extremely rich atmosphere with a near perfect degree of challenge. Especially towards the latter half does the difficulty begin to ramp up, but given the slower introduction of mechanics it doesnt get overwhelming. the introduction of exploration mode seems to strike a good balance between this games two main player bases: hardcore platformers and people who are here for the aesthetic. I bought for the vibes, but was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the platformer on display here. And the vibes are certainly vibing. highly reccomend

Only worth 10 dollar but not for everyone.
- 9 - 30 hours long. -very very repetitive but fun challenge 1st person climb platformer game (advice for me play explore mode because of repetition and some annoying parts will make skip the game not finish it), very repetitive gameplay, repetitive level design and very annoying last chapter. -only good atmosphere, content, world building and checkpoints.

The atmosphere of this game is amazing and really drew me in. Seeing some gigantic structure looming in the background that you actually climb 15 minutes later is a one of a kind experience. Overcoming odds and doing the impossible is what this game is about. The platforming is very generous and the quickload system made most of the climbing pretty painless. What I had an issue with was the backtracking. At some point I had to gather some things for an NPC and after scaling through giant pipes in unimaginable heights the game just told me to go back down the same way again. Going down took a good chunk of 20 minutes and I had zero desire to replay that entire bit. The story justification is basically non-existent and the climbing only facilitates the amazing vistas. I don't want to go through the same thing again, so that's when I just quit.
SummaryAn android is led through a vast structure by a glitch in his visual system. Lorn's Lure is an atmospheric narrative first-person platformer with novel climb-anything mechanics and modernized retro 3D graphics.
