The Light Switch
SteamAbout The Light Switch
The shadow speaks to you. It wants to play a game. You'll have only a few seconds to find it.
Features
•
Four different game modes, each using light and shadow in a unique way - think quickly, look intently, don't miss any details. You wouldn't want to make the shadow angry.
•
Three ways to play: Story Mode, Custom Mode, and Endless Mode each offer a different experience.
•
Over 100 random events involving light, sound, and the objects in the room mean that every playthrough is different - don't get disoriented when your world gets turned upside down, literally.
•
Three endings requiring mastery of the game modes tell the story. Why are you haunted by darkness itself?
Game Modes
The shadow wants to play, but they will keep you on your toes.
HIDE AND SEEK
•
The shadow will find somewhere in the room to hide. No peeking until it's done moving.
FLASHLIGHT TAG
The power is out. Use your flashlight to find the shadow before it's too late.
STORM CHASER
Even when your batteries are out, you can still play. Wait for the lightning strike and find the shadow. But this is the lightning round - you won't have much time.
PROP HUNT
The shadow is hiding something. Look closely.
Ways to Play
After finishing the Main Story, you will unlock:
•
Custom Mode - play with only the game modes you want to, with adjustable difficulty and chance of random events happening.
•
Endless Mode - the shadow will move quickly and change the game on you often, and it will get harder as time goes on. How long can you survive?
