A Veteran’s Passion Project

With over a decade of experience working on AAA titles before going independent, industry veteran Gareth Noyce founded his solo studio, Triple Eh? Ltd. in 2013 to handcraft games with a distinct, personal vision. Previously, the first Lumo was critically acclaimed for its authentic recreation of a niche genre, and the sequel looks to expand on that foundation in every way.

In a fitting tribute to the era that inspired it, Numskull Games is releasing a retro-inspired Collector’s Edition. Stepping right out of the 1980s, it includes a physical OST cassette tape among other themed goodies. Physical editions for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 will also be available through select EU retailers.

Whether you’re a veteran of the original or a newcomer curious about gaming’s isometric roots, this sequel promises a charming, challenging, and wonderfully nostalgic journey.
