Moving Lumen to a particular side of the screen will in turn make Mion follow. Lumen acts as the primary way to control Mion, as you don’t handle her movement directly. Instead, her firefly companions do much of the heavy lifting, so to speak.īoth Lumen and Umbra offer their own abilities to guide Mion out safely. Instead, her abilities are reduced to three basic tenets: jogging at a leisurely pace, adjusting switches, and pushing crates to and fro. That’s using the term quite loosely, as the heroine of the story offers no physical prowess of her own, save for overly exaggerated facial expressions. If you stripped htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary down to its most basic element of genre, it would be described as a platformer. Finding these typically involve out of the way challenges but reward the player with cute little isometric flashbacks about her life with her parents and what lead her to growing those antlers/branches out of her head. Scattered throughout most levels are Trace Memories, little sprouting plants that give a little more insight into Mion’s life before she was left by her lonesome. Its in these hazards that Mion has to escape from, with both her wits and body parts intact. Machines and assembly lines continue to operate in eternity, trash and junk piles up with no one to attend to the mess, and less sturdy fixtures such as sewer lines rust and break apart all posing their own sort of hazards. The world in htoL#NiQ is rife with the conventions of modern life, if left unattended for years. As a girl that only has just awoken from a lengthy sleep/coma, it’s only natural for her to suffer from a bout of amnesia, right? HtoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary (literally pronounced Hotaru no Nikki, diary of the firefly) is the story of a small antlered-girl by the name of Mion left by her lonesome save for a pair of fireflies, Lumen and Umbra, in a world left behind by time. Does htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary have the substance to match its style, or is this just another death for Mion?
