Last updated

Luma Island is a 2024 life simulation game developed and published by Feel Free Games. It blends role-playing, adventure, and puzzle elements, set on a mysterious island where the player character relocates after leaving an unfulfilling office job. The game centers on an ancient prophecy and the discovery of magical creatures called Lumas.

Background

Luma Island was developed by Netherlands-based studio Feel Free Games and announced in February 2024. It was released for Windows on 20 November 2024. A demo became available on 14 October 2024 as part of Steam Next Fest. The game follows a player character who moves to the titular island after an unfulfilling office job and purchases a small farm.

The story revolves around mysterious happenings on the island and an ancient prophecy. Players choose a starting profession from seven options, including treasure hunter and archaeologist, and can later purchase the other professions. Progress is made by upgrading ranks within these professions. Magical creatures called Lumas must be discovered and hatched from eggs; once hatched, they assist in finding treasure and provide Luma Energy, a resource required regardless of profession.

The game supports cooperative gameplay. A major update subtitled 'Pirates' was released on 20 June 2025, adding new areas, Lumas, and a new profession.
