Lona: Realm of Colors

About

Lona: Realm of Colors is a point-and-click puzzle adventure where you navigate surreal, paint-slicked worlds to figure out a teenager’s emotional journey. As Lona, you manipulate shifting environments, swiping away swaths of color, rearranging shapes, and solving spatial riddles, to piece together fragmented memories. The gameplay leans into abstract problem-solving, with each level representing a chapter in her turbulent inner life. There’s no dialogue, just a symphony of visuals and environmental storytelling that asks you to connect the dots between her past and present. The game stands out for its hauntingly beautiful art style and quiet emotional weight. Its non-linear narrative trusts players to interpret symbolism and emotional cues, which resonates with those who enjoy introspective indie titles. Released in 2021, it runs on PC, Mac, Linux, and iOS, offering a self-contained journey that clocks in under five hours for most. While puzzle variety dips in the middle act, the final stretch delivers a poignant payoff that lingers. Perfect for fans of artistic experimentation over traditional storytelling.

Storyline

"Lona is a teenage girl, an artist, struggling with life's difficulties and hardships. Her only escape is her sketchbook and paintings in which she draws and paints to deal with life challenges. She is struggling to find inner peace with what has happened through her life. Her paintings of life changing incidents are both drawn from logical perspective of Mr. Ruppel or the chaotic view of Ms. Schmidt and you have to help her find the balance between these ever-conflicting feelings. Each scene and level tells a part of Lona's life story and the way she tries to deal with real life difficulties. You have to solve puzzles and use items important to her to try and bring her peace of mind. Lona's story will be narrated in a non linear fashion with no dialogues and conventional narration methods. Instead you have to piece together all the clues given through levels, puzzles and an insane symphony of visual arts. This is our way of narrating a story of extreme emotions, one's inner conflicts and fighting to win against hardships of real life via a unique story telling medium called video game!"
