Beautiful 'light & dark' silhouette visuals.

Another cool underwater game, albeit with much more of a focus on combat than Luminesca.

Obviously a strong similarity in visual design. Some great creatures live in this bizarre world.

The art style was an early influence, but my biggest takeaway from Limbo is how its drastically simplified interface leads to a broad range of actions.

A strong example of charming characters and engaging story using no words and very little exposition. Elegant and minimalist storytelling.

This game influences everything I make in some way. In Luminesca's case, the Citadel's design and omnipresence has influenced the machinery.

A strong case for games as a hybrid as audiovisual experiences, with less emphasis on systemic design.

A huge influence on atmospheric design, minimalist storytelling, and rich worlds inhabited by fascinating creatures.

Encouraged me to not cling so much to hardcore systemic design, and instead be willing to remove systems and allow exploration for exploration's sake.

The silhouette art style was the first one to inspire Luminesca's appearance. Lovely peaceful little puzzle rooms.
