About Lux, City of Secrets
It's time to make a name for yourself in the city of Lux. In this first half of a two-part epic, you will discover a vibrant and dynamic metropolis full of mysteries. Meet and mingle with characters old and new, uncover clues and solve cases, wield weapons and magic, and rise to the top before the city drags you under!
Lux, City of Secrets is a 438,000 word immersive interactive experience by Thom Baylay. It’s entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast unstoppable power of your imagination.
The mayor of Lux believes someone is trying to kill him, and he has chosen you to save his life. But protecting the Luxican aristocracy is not your only priority. Will you be able to balance the responsibilities of life in the big city or will you be swallowed up by an unforgiving urban jungle? Will you prioritize your friends, your reputation, your career? In an open world where, more than ever, the choices you ignore matter as much as the ones you explore, you will need to choose carefully if you are to survive.
Reunite with old friends and enemies, continue to build the relationships you started in Evertree Inn and Sordwin, or abandon it all in pursuit of something new. It's time to find out if you have what it takes to uncover the mysteries of Lux, City of Secrets!

User reviews
I genuinely love this series, the first chapter is free but I heavily suggest you support the dev by buying the full game, along with Evertree and Sordwin ♡
First of all, I want to state that I truly enjoy the story, the characters are well written and the plot is pretty immersive. Evertree is probably my fav series from Hosted Games. I'm looking forward for the second part.
I have enjoyed these stories since being hooked on Evertree Inn a few years ago. You can play through this story stand-alone, but I highly suggest you play through Evertree and Sordwin first! Great world building, interesting characters, and immersive atmosphere. Also good for several play-throughs!
an absolutely stellar followup to an amazing series! can't wait to see where the rest of it goes!
Can't wait for the next part!
this series REALLY is a choose your own story, there are so many different paths and choises you can make to change your story almost completely! the stories are really well written and characters are all very interesting and believable. absolutely worth playing two or more characters just to see what different path...
