What it is
Lucernarium brings back console games whose online servers have gone dark, as native programs for your PC. Each one is a recreation: new code that runs the original game’s own data, so the maps, the sounds and the rules are the ones you remember.
You need your own copy. A recreation reads that data from the game you have installed through Steam, and without it nothing runs.
Nothing of the game is distributed. Lucernarium contains no game files and downloads none: no maps, models, sounds or text from the original. What you get from us is our own code.
Requires your own copy
To play, you need the original game, bought and installed through Steam, and its free Mod Tools.
Lucernarium never ships or downloads game files, and never hosts mods.
