My Light In The Dark

This is a great little game, by a great indie dev. Short but sweet, with elements of puzzle and horror thrown in. Here for a good time but not a long time, I enjoyed it.

A very nice, almost visual-novel like RPGMAKER game, you examine objects and they tell you what to do next. There aren't any puzzles, you just interact with things and get instructed to do the next thing, then solve a mystery about you and your mother. It is pretty short, story is well written and has emotional impact.

Fun and short little puzzle game. Well worth the price.

I got this game because I enjoyed the [b]For Evelyn[/b] demo. Since it won't be coming out for a while, I looked for other games by the same developer, [b]Kisuarts[/b], and found this one! The gameplay was very straightforward, especially with the contrast in aesthetics that made it easier to navigate. The only issue I had was interacting with high objects: direct clicking didn't work for me, so I had to click on the floor or the space below them instead. It wasn't intuitive, but it also wasn't a huge hassle. The story was quite sad but hopeful. The music and sounds were very well placed and gave a sense of urgency throughout the game. I enjoyed this little taste of what the developer can do and look forward to playing [b]For Evelyn[/b] when it comes out!

This is a really short little story, it took me 25 minutes to play through and I don't expect there's much or any replayability. Thank god for that low price. The narrative suggests that there is a rush, that it is time sensitive, but in practice there's no feel of that at all. DEVS. I think this game could benefit from some punishments, even if they're small, such as after moving so many squares after mother leaves, she comes back and you're sent to your room and have to wait for the next reason she leaves the house. I'm not saying this game was trying to be anything more, but it plays like one step up from a very simple point and click escape the room game. When you pick up items they appear in your onscreen item slots, which is nice but since none of them seem to have multiple uses there's not really much reason for that. If you have the item then you can use the item for the one purpose it has, that's it. There's no creative uses behind the items so having a visual for them isn't...
