“Lucah understands form is the message, that violence is messy and contradictory, and that games cannot simply adopt the language of film and literature and achieve the same ends.”

“Lucah looks like it leapt right off a chalkboard, with a distinct hand drawn style somewhere between wild scribblings and hallucinations. It mixes tense combat and exploration into a wild action-RPG.”
Kotaku

“The dark, claustrophobic world design, freaky monsters, cryptic narrative beats, high stakes combat and the superb audio design help create a tension you could cut with a knife”
AlphaBetaGamer

“Lucah: Born of a Dream is a breathtaking adventure filled with well-crafted characterization that doesn't pull any punches”
9/10 – RPGSite

About This Game




HACK, SLASH, ASCEND. Lucah: Born of a Dream is a harrowing struggle through our worst nightmares.

You have been MARKED, cursed to have your inner demons come to life as vicious Nightmares. After awakening a false god, you must atone. Traverse the hellish realm of dreams, endure the nightmare onslaught, and uncover the strength to accept yourself.



Master a deep combat system that blends ranged- and melee-action with rich customization. Explore an atmospheric world of repressed memories and unspeakable feelings. Lay waste to the Nightmares in a kinetic flurry of beautiful violence.

  • Striking colors and evocative linework elicit a surreal sense of ambiguity and tension.
  • Mix and match different Attack Mantras to create an endless variety of flashy combos.
  • Befriend Familiars and use their ranged magic to turn the course of battle.
  • Personalize your character with Virtues like slow-motion dodges, stunning parries, or vampiric attacks.
  • Use Rewinds to instantly retry a battle you were failing to achieve better results.
