About This Game

This is an FPS where enemies are invisible.

You never see them—only their shadows. 

You have one gun and fragile sources of light: fireflies, light balloons, and fireworks.

Every encounter is a choice: create light, or remove an enemy.

Survival is only the requirement.

Reclaiming light is the goal.

The system is minimalist, but the experience runs deep. 

“Let there be light,” and there was light.

Light is not decoration or atmosphere.

It is how you find enemies and shape space.

Light can be followed, controlled, and—briefly—created.

 

An FPS poem about light, shadow, and memory.
