Kanava Games Announces Its First Title LUMIS

Bangalore, India April 2026

Kanava Games today officially announces its first game in development LUMIS, a mobile endless runner for Android built around the conflict between light and shadow.

The announcement marks the beginning of active development on the studio's debut title, built entirely solo by Kanava Games founder and game director ENIAN — handling art, design, engineering, and production independently.

What is LUMIS?

LUMIS is an endless runner set inside a world of ancient ruins beneath a fractured sky. At its core is a single design principle light and shadow are not visual elements. They are the mechanics. Light protects. Shadow follows. The deeper you run, the more that balance shifts.

The game is built in Unity for Android & iOS, designed from the ground up for mobile with a focus on atmosphere, tension, and replayability qualities rarely associated with the endless runner genre.

Why This Game?

"Most endless runners ask you to react. LUMIS asks you to decide. There is a difference and that difference is what makes it worth building."

— ENIAN, Kanava Games

The endless runner genre is one of mobile gaming's most established formats. LUMIS does not attempt to reinvent it. It attempts to give it weight a world with history, a mechanic with consequence, and an atmosphere that stays with the player long after the run ends.

Some games announce themselves with trailers, demos, and release dates.

LUMIS has none of those things yet. What it has is a world and a reason to build it.

What Comes Next?

Development on LUMIS begins now. The studio will share regular updates across its website and social channels covering art direction, game mechanics, technical milestones, and the realities of building a game independently at this scale.

No release date is confirmed at this stage. The focus is on building the game correctly before building it quickly.
