Sublustrum

Experience the story of a writer trying to understand the mysterious disappearance of his brother, a scientist. While attempting to decipher the purpose of a strange device his brother left behind, he slips into a liminal space between waking and dreaming, and the investigation becomes a surreal journey into the depths of his own subconscious. Move freely through a 3D photoreal world that blends Victorian melancholy, industrial structures, and early-20th-century retrofuturism. Here, the boundary between science and mysticism blurs, and mechanisms become vessels for the human soul. Sublustrum is styled to evoke images shaped by vintage lenses and the grain of aged film – a visual language that captures the ephemeral feeling of auteur cinema and fragile dreams.

In Sublustrum, sound is more than a mood. It is a narrative system woven into the gameplay itself, with audio-driven puzzles and motifs that guide you through the world. The dark ambient score is a core part of the story – and of the project's origin. Tackle new and re-imagined puzzles that present unusual challenges and reward associative, lateral thinking. Draw connections between memories and inner archetypes through puzzles shaped by sound, shifting gravity, and temporal distortions, and unravel the mysteries of this Flickering World.
