Three iconic vignettes from the game are available, reproduced on a smooth surface, heavy weight (230 g, 9.5-mil), neutral white, matte paper engineered for accurate color reproduction that provides high contrast and high resolution output, to accurately reflect the artistic strengths of these stunning game images.

The art direction is characterized by a strong chiarascuro lighting effect and photography and video that make incredible use of resolution and in-focus / out-of-focus scenery to enhance gameplay and illustrate the playful yet mysterious tone. The game distinguishes itself from itself from others in the genre by its distinct art style and the sheer quality of its sets and seamless post production adaptation to a digital game. With glue, paper and miniature lights and motors, State of Play Games created a 7 foot tall paper world in a London art studio, building on a rich but altogether too sparse history of physical world game sets pioneered by games like the Neverhood in the mid 90s. Lumino City does something interesting with that tension, drawing you closer and closer to the screen but never letting you slip through the glass threshold.Lumino City is a lovingly realized papercraft world where gamers guide a young girl in search of her missing grandfather in a delightful point and click puzzle adventure. It’s not really a tactile game in the sense that you can’t touch anything and-at least in a purely physical sense-you can’t feel anything either. On the one hand, the fact that the game is based on a physical model does give it a more lived-in feel. Lumino City has always been billed as something of a tactile game, which is both fair and a little bit silly. The only difference is that she now follows your touch instead of your clicks.
