Gioca a Lightmatter Anniversary

Informazioni sul gioco

Celebrate the 5-year anniversary of Lightmatter with us!

Join us for a walk down memory lane with 9 playable Lightmatter prototypes — spanning from 2013 to 2018!

From its early inception as a university project called 'See You On The Other Side', to the full Steam release in 2020, we want to give something back to the community by providing an exclusive peak into the many iterations that Lightmatter went through to see the light of day!

Use lights and shadows to solve mind-bending puzzles

Lightmatter is a 3D puzzle game where touching shadows is dangerous. Drawing inspiration from the classic first-person puzzlers, the gameplay revolves around utilizing lights to your advantage in order to solve mind-bending puzzles.

As the prototypes demonstrate, we experimented with a lot of different gameplay mechanics about how to manipulate light in interesting ways. But the core goal was always the same: make the player experience the satisfying "aha moment" by using lateral thinking.

Play through a gallery of 9 prototypes and learn about the game's development

Each of the prototypes tell the story of the many trials and tribulations we went through as an indie game studio in order to release our very first game on Steam. As a completely new team, we had to learn everything from scratch — including how to design puzzles, writing a story, running a business, and pitching to investors and publishers.

See you on the other side!

By scrolling through the game's menu and looking at the prototypes in chronological order, you will learn tidbits about how the gameplay evolved over time, how we managed to tell a sci-fi story, and how the game slowly found its identity. We hope you enjoy this little package of game development nostalgia as much as we did putting it together! <3
