What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and open-ended exploration of Lucenille, calling it a blend of survival horror and immersive sim. They split on the jank: some find the bugs and clunky physics frustrating, while others say the game's charm and tense combat outweigh them. Performance is a common complaint, especially on higher-end systems.
