Lowlight
LOWLIGHT
You are trapped in a shifting darkness. The only thing holding it back is fire.
In this tense, atmospheric survival experience, you must navigate the void with nothing but the glow of a fragile match. Every flame is temporary. Every mistake costs you precious seconds — or your life.
The darkness reacts to light.
The sound reacts to your actions.
The shadow is always learning.
There is no combat. Only movement, timing, and fear.
THE LOOP
- Tactile Ignition: Strike matches by hand using a drag-based mechanic. Strike too fast and it breaks; too slow and it fails.
- The Beam: Project your limited light (F) to scout the path ahead or ignite distant candles.
- Finite Safety: Once a candle burns out, it stays dead. Plan your route carefully.
CONTROLS
WASD — Move | Space — Dash
