Five worlds. Five lighting decisions.

The campaign follows the ROLAN hierarchy from the highest-impact decision to the most specific. Each world turns one principle into a physical action, then lets you see its effect on people, places, wildlife, and the sky.

The learning system

Learn by changing the night.

Captain Lumen teaches through consequence, not a lecture. Every correct action reduces sky glow, reveals more stars, and moves the world toward a quieter, safer night.

Land on fixtures to correct them. Calibrated lamps stay set. Chain corrections for bonus points, and watch for a warning before a guardian attacks. On touchscreens, use the arrow, Jump and Scan buttons.
