About Lucid Labs
Lucid Labs is an independent video game development studio based in New Delhi, India. It creates original casual puzzle games that combine perspective-shifting mechanics, minimalist 3D art and quiet, emotional storytelling. Its work emphasizes spatial awareness and visual experimentation, often communicating narrative through play rather than dialogue.
The studio traces its beginnings to a 24-hour game jam in 2014, when game designer Chirag Chopra developed ROTO. That circular arcade puzzle game gained publisher backing from Weraku Games and provided the starting point for the business. Formal studio establishment and legal incorporation followed in May 2015.
Games and creative approach
Possessions explores perspective through a minimalist 3D puzzle format. It debuted as an Apple Arcade launch title in September 2019 and subsequently reached Meta Quest. On November 3, 2026, Lucid Labs released an expanded, handheld-optimized edition for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows PC through the Microsoft Store, with Xbox Play Anywhere support. The title illustrates the studio’s continuing work adapting its puzzle experiences across mobile, virtual reality, console and PC platforms.
Bloom – a puzzle adventure, released in August 2023, builds its puzzles around chain reactions and combines colorful visuals with narrative elements. It appeared on iOS, Android and Steam. Earlier work includes Stay, Mum, a physics-based block-matching puzzle game exploring the relationship between a boy and his working mother. Together, these projects reflect the studio’s interest in connecting accessible puzzle structures with personal themes.
Development capabilities
Lucid Labs’ capabilities span full-cycle game design and production, prototyping, narrative direction, and multi-platform porting and optimization. Its technical scope includes mobile devices, console and PC platforms, subscription gaming and virtual reality. Across these formats, the studio maintains a creative focus on experimental mechanics, atmospheric presentation and wordless storytelling.
