Lumen Arcana

In a world plunged into eternal darkness, where shadows spawn monstrous creatures, you are the last line of defense—an eccentric wizard who fuels his magic not with ancient scrolls, but with raw electricity! Armed with a Tesla-coil staff and a belt of enchanted batteries, you must roam the forsaken land, reigniting the world’s last sources of light before the darkness consumes everything.

Gameplay Features:

Roguelike Top-Down Action: Every run is different—adapt, upgrade, and survive the ever-growing waves of shadow creatures.

Electric Magic: Use your Tesla-coil staff to chain lightning between enemies, overcharge magic circuits, and power up ancient artefacts, remains of the past!

Light vs. Darkness: Restore the land by activating magic candles (Electric Street Lights) and powering up generators—but beware, the creatures grow stronger in deeper darkness!

Resource Management: Your batteries are your lifeline—spend them wisely between casting powerful spells and keeping the lights on!

Dynamic Enemy Spawning: Darkness isn’t just an aesthetic—it’s a living entity that spawns horrors. The more light you restore, the weaker they become!

Will you harness the power of electricity repair all generators again and drive the darkness away, or will the world be swallowed by the abyss forever?
