Thank you for playing Relumine.
In this update, we fixed some bugs and adjusted the last puzzle.
Relumine is a breath of fresh air for fans of perspective-based puzzlers. It clearly takes some inspiration from games like Monument Valley, but it carves out its own identity with a touching story about a daughter searching for her father. The core mechanic—rotating the world to reveal new paths—is incredibly satisfying and feels very tactile on a touchscreen.
The art direction is soft and dreamlike, which complements the non-combative gameplay perfectly. While it isn't the longest game out there, every level feels handcrafted with care. It's a peaceful, meditative experience that values quality over quantity. If you enjoy games that make you think while relaxing your mind, Relumine is a fantastic choice.
Mind-bending spatial puzzles
Stunning minimalist 3D art
Emotional, wordless storytelling
Calming original soundtrack
Tap the crystal icon to enter rotation mode. Use swipe gestures to spin the world. Often, a path that looks disconnected will align perfectly when viewed from a specific angle.
Step on pressure plates to trigger mechanisms. Some puzzles require you to hold a plate down with an object while you rotate the world to reach the newly opened door.
The game focuses on intuitive design; while there isn't a direct 'skip' button, the puzzles are logically structured to guide you.
Wow. Relumine is an absolutely magical game experience. Beautiful art, fluid movement, a touching story, and some of the most unique and inspired mechanics I've ever seen in a game. If you love puzzle adventures, this one is top tier. It encourages you to use your brain without causing unnecessary stress or anxiety. I think this is mostly due to the fact there's no "death" or frustrating timers artificially increasing difficulty, meaning you can take all the time you need to figure out the game's genius puzzles. "Genius" because they make you feel like a genius when you solve them, and yet they never feel unfair or overly convoluted. Furthermore, the game's perspective-altering mechanics never get stale as they continue to evolve in organic ways. And with a runtime on the shorter side (just a few hours), the game doesn't overstay its welcome and leaves you wanting more (in the best of ways). I can't recommend Relumine enough. It's literally a steal for the price. 10/10
Adventure Puzzle Game fans, and fans of all well-crafted games, this game is well worth your time and the small price tag. Frankly, I don’t know why this game hasn’t been fully discovered yet. Relumine should be a massive hit with puzzle fans. The puzzles are unique, thoughtfully designed and pleasantly challenging. I’m guessing the game didn’t get much exposure because it’s the developer’s first game. But for my tastes this is a five star game! The artwork is attractive and clean. The controls are simple, smooth and easy to use. The gameplay is original, unhurried, and it kept me interested throughout the entire game. Also, the coding in this game is superb. Relumine has a beautiful 3D environment, yet the file size is around 100 megs. Most games of this quality and length are between 400 and 800 megs, (because of poor coding and because they pack the games with lots of ads, promos and other garbage). This game has none of the junk, just lots of fun, cool stylized artwork and fantastic puzzles. Get this game and enjoy!
What a great game! Relumine is a wonderful little adventure-puzzle experience comparable to UsTwo's Monument Valley. The expanded narrative is nicely served by the nicely designed world and animated characters. Movements take practice, patience and some experimentation. Something that is encouraged. I love the soundtrack. In short, I find this to be well worth the price!
It has the qualities I enjoy, no timer, no move count. I appreciate no instructions, as that is part of the puzzle experience. I’m not as bright as some others here and would appreciate some kind of a hint. I seem to be hopelessly stuck in a loop about 1/2 way through.. Is it just me, or do all these games have the same story line — a waif looking for a lost loved one. It does pull at the heart strings. Definitely worth the cost of the puzzle.
This game did not play for me at all on os 14 but after updating to os15 is works as promised. Not terrifically challenging but relaxing to play. Thank you to the developers for helping e resolve my earlier issues.
Everything you want in a puzzle. Plus, the mechanics and transitions are satisfyingly smooth.
This is a terrific puzzler. No battles, no time limits, just solid puzzles with beautiful animation. So glad I found this.
Love the style and the puzzles are fun and relaxing without being too easy.
In case you missed it, indie developer Ammil has released a charming 3D spatial puzzle adventure game titled Relumine, in which you play as...
