Possess, jump and think your way through this beautiful 3D puzzle platformer with vivid visuals and quirky characters.

Play as Lumote a squishy bio-luminescent creature on a quest to overthrow the Mastermote. Take possession of the Motes and use their abilities to solve a world of puzzles.

Lumote is a game about two opposing powers. Blue power controlled by Lumote and red power controlled by the Mastermote. You play as Lumote in this 3D puzzle platformer with only the ability to jump and possess. Possession allows you to take control of the world's inhabitants, the Motes, and use their abilities. Depending on who's energy controls a Mote their behavior will either help or hinder Lumote to travel below and take control from the Mastermote.

The world of Lumote is broken into three biomes you will need to gain control of all the towers in a biome before you can descend to the next one. Each tower marks the completion and mastery of a mechanic, and the start of new challenges for you to explore. They will also contain pictographic blocks that will tell the story of the world of the Motes.

Wired Productions and developer Luminawesome Games are pleased to reveal that Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles is to be released for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One on March 24, 2022, and will launch day one on Google Stadia!
