Rayman Lum'o'Grams' plot is based on the official description of [[Muse of the poets|The Muse of Poets]], a scrapped character from {{rw|Rayman 2|Rayman 2: The Great Escape}}, previously mentioned only in the official strategy guide <ref>https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Muse_of_the_poets</ref>, but never appeared in any game in the {{rw|Rayman series|Rayman series}}. The narrative begins with the character's backstory, after which the events of the game take place in the present.

During the game, Rayman ~~will visit~~ fragments of his memories of the events of ~~past~~ games, in which he ~~will restore~~ The Glade of Dreams by recovering images of its creatures.

During the game, [[Rayman]] visits fragments of his memories of the events of {{rw|Rayman series|previous games}}, in which he restores [[The Glade of Dreams]] by recovering images of its creatures by solving [[Lum'o'Gram|Lum'o'Grams]] puzzles.

===The Beginning===

The plot starts with the story of the origin of The Glade of Dreams, according to which many centuries ago, The Great Protoon appeared in the center of the universe, surrounded by a swarm of Lums, whose power was truly unlimited. The Gods found out about their hidden power and began to compete for the right to control it. ~~The~~ Lums got tired of the conquerors and decided to create their own Gods, who with the help of Protoon will build their own land - The Glade of Dreams. The first God they created was Polokus, who possessed the power of true generosity, mercy and purity. The second goddess was The Muse of Poets, his wife. While Polokus was beautiful in his soul, the charm of The Muse of Poets was expressed in her appearance and grace. Because of this, the creatures they created were not perfect in both sides. Because of his generosity, Polokus loved them for what they are, finding positive sides in their imperfection. But ~~The~~ Muse did not think so. The unevenness of her children hurt her perfectionist nature. She claimed that they were spoiled by Polokus. She wished she could "fix" them. The Muse of Poets only had to wait for the birth of Teensies, their most anticipated children, whose settlements would be all over The Glade of Dreams. However, the impact of Polokus turned out to be especially strong on Teensies' appearance, which is why they came out nondescript but good-natured, which was the last straw for The Muse of Poets. "What a freak!", Muse of Poets screamed when she saw one of them. At this moment, the goddess' rage reached its peak and she was no longer able to put up with the impact of Polokus' qualities on their children~~. She tried to destroy them, but the Angels they created to protect The Glade from other Gods stopped her. Muse of Poets could not live with her own failure~~, gave up everything and went to the Dark Legacy, the dark forests of The Glade, forever. Since then, no one has seen The Muse of Poets, she was considered missing, while Polokus was left alone forever until he went into a deep sleep. Meanwhile, The Muse of Poets was secretly studying the nature of the Lums and their structure. After centuries of research she managed to learn how to change creatures created with them. From now on, The Muse of Poets can "fix" everything that she with her husband has created many years ago, leaving nothing in their children but a perfect appearance.

===The Main Story===

[[Muse of the poets|The Muse of Poets]] returns, and her plan is simple - to capture the images of all living things and rewrite them, striving for her ideals. The goddess enchanted [[The Glade of Dreams]] and turned it into [[The Elbowroom]], a place where she can change anything as she wants. That's where [[Rayman]] finds himself in the company of two new sidekicks - [[Originator|Originators]], with whom he has to save his home and find out the truth about [[The Glade of Dreams|The Glade]] creators and [[The Great Protoon|Protoon]] children. To do this, [[Rayman]] travels through fragments of his own memories, restoring images of the creatures that inhabited the locations he visited and once again fighting his worst enemies, whose minds were captured by [[Muse Syllable|Muse Syllables]], whose goal is to defeat [[Rayman]] and his new friends.

==Gameplay==

The gameplay of Rayman Lum'o'Grams is heavily inspired by the Picross series published by Nintendo, based on the classic Japanese Nonograms, also known as Hanjie, Paint by Numbers, Griddlers, and Pic-a-Pix. The player's task at each level is to solve a series of picture logic puzzles in which cells in a grid must be colored or left blank according to numbers at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden pixel art-like picture. In this puzzle type, the numbers are a form of discrete tomography that measures how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares there are in any given row or column. For example, a clue of "2 5 4" would mean there are sets of two, five, and four filled squares, in that order, with at least one blank square between successive sets.

One of the main innovations of the game, which distinguishes it from other games of this genre, are [[Muse Syllable|Muse Syllables]] [[Lum'o'Gram|Lum'o'Grams]], characterized in that in the process of solving the puzzle, one of the bosses from previous {{rw|Rayman series|Rayman games}} tries to destroy the player's cursor. To complete such segments, the player is required not only to solve the problem, but also to evade enemy attacks, as well as sometimes interact with the environment and change their [[Originator]].

===Community Puzzles===

During the main story campaign, the player randomly unlocks new [[Lum'o'Gram|Lum'o'Grams]], the solution of which is also necessary to fully complete the game. They do not include [[Muse Syllable|Muse Syllables]], the puzzles are presented in 15x15 format, and instead of [[Rayman]], [[UbiArtist]], a mascot of {{rw|Ubisoft|Ubisoft's}} {{rw|UbiArt|UbiArt Framework}}, interacts with the player. Most of these [[Lum'o'Gram|Lum'o'Grams]] are dedicated to {{rw|Rayman Origins}} and {{rw|Rayman Legends}}, but a third category was also presented - Rayman Universe, which includes puzzles with the main characters of both the main styles already presented and projects that did not make it to this list, such as {{rw|Rayman: The Animated Series}}, {{rw|Rayman M|Rayman M/Arena}}, {{rw|Rayman & les Moldies|Rayman and The Moldies}} and many others. These puzzles are created together with enthusiasts who want to participate in the project.

==Trivia==

* The initial working title for the game was ''Rayman Lum'o'Cross''. It was also mistakenly mentioned in some early game advertisements.

* Initially, Rayman Lum'o'Grams was planned as a tiny fan game for the Rayman 28th Anniversary, but positive feedback during the announcement at [[Rayman: Alive|Rayman Alive 2022]] motivated developers to expand the scale of the game.

* [[Muse of the poets|The Muse of Poets]] design is based on one of the early {{rw|Rayman: The Animated Series}} storyboards, which features an unknown woman. Thus, [[Muse of the poets|The Muse of Poets]] in Rayman Lum'o'Grams is the realization of two scrapped characters at once <ref>https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/File:RaymanTVSeries-Designs-by-LeonJoosen.jpg</ref>.

* The {{rw|Rayman Kart}} style was originally planned for the game, but the idea was scrapped due to the lack of puzzle ideas.

* Some of the technical flaws from the original games are present in Rayman Lum'o'Grams in the form of easter eggs. For example, each [[Lum'o'Gram]] walkthrough in {{rw|Rayman 1|Classic Rayman}} style begins with a landing sound, as in the levels of the original game; while during some animations in {{rw|Rayman IV|Rayman IV: Sunshine of Trip}} style an identical to the original game graphical glitch blinks on the [[Rayman]] icon.

* {{rw|Rayman Garden}} style contains sounds and music from [[Rayman Garden PLUS]], the first [[Rayman Universe]] fan game.

Because of his generosity, Polokus loved them for what they are, finding positive sides in their imperfection. But The Muse did not think so. The unevenness of her children hurt her perfectionist nature. She claimed that they were spoiled by Polokus. She wished she could "fix" them. The Muse of Poets only had to wait for the birth of Teensies, their most anticipated children, whose settlements would be all over The Glade of Dreams. However, the impact of Polokus turned out to be especially strong on Teensies' appearance, which is why they came out nondescript but good-natured, which was the last straw for The Muse of Poets. "What a freak!", Muse of Poets screamed when she saw one of them. At this moment, the goddess' rage reached its peak and she was no longer able to put up with the impact of Polokus' qualities on their children. She tried to destroy them, but the Angels they created to protect The Glade from other Gods stopped her.

After centuries of research she managed to learn how to change creatures created with them. From now on, [[Muse of the poets|The Muse of Poets]] can "fix" everything that she with her husband has created many years ago, leaving nothing in their children but a perfect appearance.

+===The Main Story===
+[[Muse of the poets|The Muse of Poets]] returns, and her plan is simple - to capture the images of all living things and rewrite them, striving for her ideals. The goddess enchanted [[The Glade of Dreams]] and turned it into [[The Elbowroom]], a place where she can change anything as she wants. That's where [[Rayman]] finds himself in the company of two new sidekicks - [[Originator|Originators]], with whom he has to save his home and find out the truth about [[The Glade of Dreams|The Glade]] creators and [[The Great Protoon|Protoon]] children. To do this, [[Rayman]] travels through fragments of his own memories, restoring images of the creatures that inhabited the locations he visited and once again fighting his worst enemies, whose minds were captured by [[Muse Syllable|Muse Syllables]], whose goal is to defeat [[Rayman]] and his new friends.

+==Gameplay==
+The gameplay of Rayman Lum'o'Grams is heavily inspired by the Picross series published by Nintendo, based on the classic Japanese Nonograms, also known as Hanjie, Paint by Numbers, Griddlers, and Pic-a-Pix. The player's task at each level is to solve a series of picture logic puzzles in which cells in a grid must be colored or left blank according to numbers at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden pixel art-like picture. In this puzzle type, the numbers are a form of discrete tomography that measures how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares there are in any given row or column. For example, a clue of "2 5 4" would mean there are sets of two, five, and four filled squares, in that order, with at least one blank square between successive sets.
+One of the main innovations of the game, which distinguishes it from other games of this genre, are [[Muse Syllable|Muse Syllables]] [[Lum'o'Gram|Lum'o'Grams]], characterized in that in the process of solving the puzzle, one of the bosses from previous {{rw|Rayman series|Rayman games}} tries to destroy the player's cursor. To complete such segments, the player is required not only to solve the problem, but also to evade enemy attacks, as well as sometimes interact with the environment and change their [[Originator]].

+===Community Puzzles===
+During the main story campaign, the player randomly unlocks new [[Lum'o'Gram|Lum'o'Grams]], the solution of which is also necessary to fully complete the game. They do not include [[Muse Syllable|Muse Syllables]], the puzzles are presented in 15x15 format, and instead of [[Rayman]], [[UbiArtist]], a mascot of {{rw|Ubisoft|Ubisoft's}} {{rw|UbiArt|UbiArt Framework}}, interacts with the player. Most of these [[Lum'o'Gram|Lum'o'Grams]] are dedicated to {{rw|Rayman Origins}} and {{rw|Rayman Legends}}, but a third category was also presented - Rayman Universe, which includes puzzles with the main characters of both the main styles already presented and projects that did not make it to this list, such as {{rw|Rayman: The Animated Series}}, {{rw|Rayman M|Rayman M/Arena}}, {{rw|Rayman & les Moldies|Rayman and The Moldies}} and many others. These puzzles are created together with enthusiasts who want to participate in the project.

+==Trivia==
+* The initial working title for the game was ''Rayman Lum'o'Cross''. It was also mistakenly mentioned in some early game advertisements.
+* Initially, Rayman Lum'o'Grams was planned as a tiny fan game for the Rayman 28th Anniversary, but positive feedback during the announcement at [[Rayman: Alive|Rayman Alive 2022]] motivated developers to expand the scale of the game.
+* [[Muse of the poets|The Muse of Poets]] design is based on one of the early {{rw|Rayman: The Animated Series}} storyboards, which features an unknown woman. Thus, [[Muse of the poets|The Muse of Poets]] in Rayman Lum'o'Grams is the realization of two scrapped characters at once <ref>https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/File:RaymanTVSeries-Designs-by-LeonJoosen.jpg</ref>.
+* The {{rw|Rayman Kart}} style was originally planned for the game, but the idea was scrapped due to the lack of puzzle ideas.
+* Some of the technical flaws from the original games are present in Rayman Lum'o'Grams in the form of easter eggs. For example, each [[Lum'o'Gram]] walkthrough in {{rw|Rayman 1|Classic Rayman}} style begins with a landing sound, as in the levels of the original game; while during some animations in {{rw|Rayman IV|Rayman IV: Sunshine of Trip}} style an identical to the original game graphical glitch blinks on the [[Rayman]] icon.
+* {{rw|Rayman Garden}} style contains sounds and music from [[Rayman Garden PLUS]], the first [[Rayman Universe]] fan game.
