Lumen
Your navigator: a small star spirit with a brass headset and a worried smile. Lumen reads the sky, marks the turns, and talks you into every universe.
The story
Somebody left a light on
Three years ago Captain Vesper flew out to find out where the starlight was going. Her ship never came home, but her signal still does, and it still has her callsign on it.
Captain Vesper
Starship captain and cartographer. She charted the way out before anyone else, and left her logs behind her. You read one at every boss.
The Hush
Something the old charts call the Hush is taking starlight, universe by universe, and keeping it. Every universe you cross is a little quieter than the one before.
Act one: leaving home
Home Solar System
Warm suns, gentle orbits. Everything out there starts here, Captain.Lumen
Outer Belt
Cold rock and slow ice, and the signal is stronger. Whatever sent it was built in our yard.Lumen
Deep Space
No star close enough to name. I will keep the lights on in here, Captain.Lumen
Pulsar Zone
A dead star, still beating. Time your moves to it, Captain, or be swept away.Lumen
Galactic Core
The furnace at the center of everything. Do not blink, and do not let go of the wheel.Lumen
Acts two, three and four are told in the game: three lines in every universe, ninety in all, from Lumen on arrival and halfway across, and from Vesper's logs at the bosses.
