Master Light and Shadow in Mind-Bending 3D Puzzles

Lightmatter is a captivating 3D puzzle game where shadows are deadly. Inspired by classic first-person puzzlers, the core gameplay revolves around strategically manipulating light to create safe paths and solve intricate environmental puzzles through innovative light mechanics.

These prototypes showcase the extensive experimentation with different light manipulation mechanics we explored. Our ultimate goal has always been to provide that satisfying "aha moment" by challenging players to think laterally and master physics-based interactions.

Explore Game Development History with 9 Prototypes

Each prototype tells a story of the trials and tribulations faced by an indie game studio bringing its first game to Steam. As a new team, we learned it all from scratch. This included Puzzle design, writing a sci-fi story, how to pitch to investors & publishers, and run a business.

Step Into the Lightmatter Development Archive!

By exploring the game's menu and viewing the prototypes in chronological order, you'll discover how the core game mechanics evolved over time, and learn how we gradually developed the sci-fi narrative. Our hope is that you enjoy this walk through game development nostalgia as much as we did creating it.
