"Sometimes you get truly lost. That's when you call someone, and they send rescue people to get you. But what if they can't find you?
What if you are so lost, it is impossible for them to find you.
Do you believe in fantasy worlds?
I didn't either. Until I found myself in one.”

The process behind Lempo
Three people worked very hard to rock the horror game world. Add a pinch of puzzle game and Finnish mythology and you get Lempo!



Lempo is based on those three people's cultures. In Finland, everybody’s connected to nature, and so is this game. Much of the game even takes place in a forest!

Players can easily identify themselves with the main character of the game because, even with a great sense of direction, after a 9 to 5, everybody can find themselves in strange places if they aren't careful enough about the direction they follow.

The devs worked very hard to provide a fresh experience. As usual in the horror genre, it is based much on music and visual effects.

Want to experience this amazing (and terryfic) recipe? Make sure to wishlist the game!

Meet Lempo!
The spark for LEMPO came from using old Finnish folklore of Metsänpeitto as the basis of the story. A magical and dark fantasy world where one might get lost and (almost) never get out. Then the idea started to live and we thought about the core pillars of our game: avoiding major cliches, strong emphasis on storytelling, and an epic atmosphere and mood throughout the story.

This is when the idea of using Lempo (the character) was born. Before Christianity had arrived in Finland, in the old Finnish mythology Lempo was, and is, a much kinder version of the god Christians perceived as bad as the Devil itself. We wanted to use the darker version to inspire our version of Lempo... and we wanted to give Her even more powers than she used to have.



Our version of Lempo is strongly connected to all the things happening inside the game = we took a lot of artistic liberties with the character. But the core is still there: she is the goddess of love, fertility, and fire, and at the same time she is also a devourer of worlds—a chaotic and dark force. The character really represents the game. Well, the game is after all named after Lempo. There is beauty and darkness in both of them.
