A walk in the dark

Missing people. A sealed building. Something moving beyond your torchlight.

You came looking for answers. Now you need a way out.

Light Game is a top-down detective horror game. You are a detective investigating disappearances inside a sealed building. Search the corridors for keys, piece together the accounts left by those who came before you, and keep your distance from the Enmes roaming the dark.

Play the new demo. Explore the opening section in Normal mode, search for keys and three pocket notes, and unlock the Gold door to finish your preview. The full investigation and its endings are not included.

The features below describe the full game being prepared for release.

Follow the evidence

  • Explore a dark building filled with locked doors, clues and hidden routes.
  • Collect 16 pocket notes to piece together its story.
  • Discover multiple endings.
  • Choose Lite, Normal or Dark mode, with different lighting and survival challenges.
  • Keep separate investigations in three save slots, each with its own difficulty.
  • Aim your torch independently while moving, push back danger, and run or dash to escape.
  • Unlock 28 in-game Commendations, from first discoveries to demanding challenges.
  • Browse your collected notes and Commendations through a detective's notebook.
  • Play with keyboard and mouse or a compatible controller.

Choose your difficulty

Lite — More light and a gentler survival challenge.

Normal — The middle ground between exploration and danger.

Your chosen difficulty stays with that save slot.
