New update:

Fall of Light was featured by Rock, Paper, Shotgun as a "hidden gem" and one of the "best new games of the week on Steam."

"Very much like Dark Souls, but with a touch of Ico."

Read the article here:

"In the beginning, there was only a searing, anguished void, where tortured souls writhed, imprisoned in nothingness. Then the darkness was torn apart by Luce, and with her came warmth and order. The age of men had arrived, and it would endure for many ages. But the 14th age is the age of Darkness…"

In the role of Nyx, an old retired warrior, flee from the Shadows and find your way through twisting corridors in gloomy dungeons, traverse the treacherous paths of a melancholic world, and face the emissaries of darkness in temples long forgotten. Countless riddles and deadly traps rise between you and your goal: to guide your daughter, Aether, to the last place on the face of the Earth that still shelters light.

Inspired by titles such as Dark Souls and ICO, Fall of Light rewards those who explore the world on their own and draw their own conclusions. Meet unusual characters, search everywhere to uncover hidden secrets, and learn more about the history and legends of the dark world around you. Choose your preferred combination of melee weapons, crossbows, and shields; define your combat approach and prepare to face hordes of cunning enemies. And above all, protect your daughter from danger, for she is the light that destroys the darkness and the key to opening the forbidden passages.
