User Reviews

Nihilumbra is praised for its beautiful visuals, immersive atmosphere, and a story-driven experience that rewards exploration and replayability, including hard modes like void. However, players repeatedly report crashes/bugs, a lack of recent updates, and cramped or imprecise controls that hinder gameplay. Overall, it’s considered a beloved, classic title with strong art and narrative, needing stability and continued support to reach its full potential.
Pros
  • Stunning visuals and atmospheric art style.
  • Strong, story-driven experience with compelling narration.
  • High replay value and challenging content (e.g., void mode).
  • Engaging gameplay that blends platforming and puzzle elements.
  • Notable voice acting and humor in the writing.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and stability issues reported by multiple players.
  • Lack of updates/maintenance for years.
  • Direction controls are too small or awkward, making inputs easy to miss.

希望以后还能遇到这种优秀的好玩的有深度的游戏,这款游戏制作的非常的用心,这么多年来是我玩过的闯关类里最优秀的一个,不知道是游戏团队解散了还是怎么了没继续更新下去,还是期待会有新的关卡更新

It’s the platformer puzzler I was looking for. Well done, only have one complain. I can’t fathom why the left / right directional buttons are set up how they are. Need to be bigger, or separated or both. For a while I thought it was a a progressive slider. I constantly have to contort my thumb and still miss the directional inputs. 95% of deaths occur from missed inputs. Please fix:)
