Welcome to Into the Light, a exploration game with a horrific atmosphere where every sound you make can lead you to death. You will cross path with strange things at best, and dangerous beings at worst. Gigantic eyes, tentacles and ashen corpses await you.

But that's not all: there is a monster we kept from you until now.

The Howlers: immobile but dangerous

The Howlers are standing still. At first, you'll think they are harmless and you would be right. But they contain something far more dangerous that can cost you your life if you do not pay attention to your environment and above all, the sound you make.

Stay quite. At all cost, or the Seeker will emerge from the darkness to catch you.

What kind of design for the Howlers?

A first draft was designed that we tried in an internal demo. It was used for a long time and we kind of got used to it:

But then, a new idea came along. A more troubling monster, less human and different from the ashen corpses you can see amongst the environment.

A Howler does not use its eyes but its ears to detect any intruders into its personal space. Then, it starts to pulse with a vivid red light up, stronger and stronger, until a Seeker leaves the dark to join you in the light.

If you see a Howler like this, run and hide as fast as you can.

That's it for today! We would love to tell you more but that would be for another time. Nevertheless, we'll have a good news to share with you very soon!
