The design of all the puzzles is based on logic and common sense for every player to understand the situation quickly and to have an immersive experience when solving puzzles.

Something unspeakable, it always appears unexpectedly and charges at you. What is it looking for? Who is it? Try to interact with the environment and use items around you wisely. That is the key to escape from the chase of the ones hiding in shadows.

In order to bring the native and nostalgic view of 1940s Taiwan to players, the voiceover Taiwanese. Furthermore, there are nearly a thousand Taiwanese lines mixed with Japanese, to present the life and the culture in that certain period when Taiwan was occupied by Japan.
About MATCHB
We are MATCHB, four university students from Taiwan with the full passion of playing and making video games. The idea of HalfLight came from our student graduation project, which even won the 1st prize in official Unreal Engine 4 Game Design Competition.

User Reviews
Good game, with a great story. With original puzzles that I have never seen before. Would recommend!
The concept is great. The art is fantastic. Though there's some bugs near the end which is disappointing. Hope this can be fixed. EDIT: I've played the second time to get all the documents and photos in order to get the true ending. THERE'S A TRUE ENDING PEOPLE! I'm actually amazed by the story and how it was totally different without seeing the true ending. The gaming experience could improve a bit, but the story and how it was revealed was perfect.
Nice short game, atmospheric, abstract, slightly spooky There is puzzle solving, short stealth sections, exploration Story is about finding your brother who has gone exploring and has been kidnapped by monsters
The story is set up in the end of WWII when Taiwan was taken back by Chinese nationalist government from Japan, and the nationalist government had done some atrocities to Taiwanese called the 228 event. It is a interesting experience to hear Taiwanese, Japanese , and mandarin all in one game. Overall, it is an interesting little game (pretty short) with unique style of art. IT is worth note that the game was originally a student project. Just ignore the negative reviews in Chinese as most of them are ignorant CCP trolls crying why Taiwanese speaking Japanese.
I like the Story so far, it's interesting and the design is nice. There seem to be some little bugs. I can't continue right now unless with a restart I guess but the devs said in the forum that they'll work on it. Maybe give it a chance in some days.
(I know I don't have much time at all on the game while writing this review, but I've only just been able to buy it. I've known about it for a while before this.) Honestly? This game rocks. If you want unique puzzles, cool aesthetics, and a powerful story, pick this game up. It's underrated as all heck and I recommend it for anyone looking to experience something new. Just ignore the negative reviews, it's been bombed by CCP folks who don't agree with the whole "China war crimes are bad" thing.
A really enjoyable game with some unique puzzles and scenery. There really wasn't a second I was playing that I wasn't fully engrossed in what was happening or where the story would turn next. The gameplay is mostly just walking around and interacting with the world, but the world being as interesting as it is and the story being unique definitely make up for that to me. As the other reviews say, the negative reviews are just CCP nerds upset because the game points out Chinese war crimes not being a good thing
This is by far one of the most beautiful games i've played in a few years. It's kinda short but has a lovely athmosphere, yet creepy af. Would recommend at any cost Edit: Nominated for Game of the year
