About Lightless

Lightless is a first-person psychological horror game set in the depths of an abandoned mine. You descend into the darkness to search for your missing father — but what you find is something far more disturbing.The mine swallows light, leaving you vulnerable. Your only means of navigating the void are glowing orbs of light that you can throw into the darkness, illuminating the path ahead and revealing what lurks in the shadows.Through exploration, scattered notes, and fleeting encounters, the story unfolds — a slow descent into memory, guilt, and the fragile line between reality and delusion.



Key Features

  • Throw Light into Darkness – Use orbs to illuminate your surroundings and guide your path.
  • Atmospheric Horror – Tension-driven experience built on dread, silence, and sudden terror rather than jump scares alone.
  • Psychological Storytelling – A narrative that blurs the line between reality and delusion, told through notes, environments, and symbolic encounters.
  • Immersive First-Person Perspective – Navigate claustrophobic tunnels and oppressive spaces where every sound and shadow matters.
  • Exploration & Discovery – Uncover hidden notes, environmental details, and clues that piece together the protagonist’s haunting truth.
  • Self-Contained Experience – Designed to be completed in one or two sittings for maximum immersion.

Such an innovative game in the lighting & gameplay aspects! The game turned out to be something way more than what I expected. I think this game is underrated and deserves more attention. Its horror level is well balanced, and the jump scares are actually creative. People usually skip leaving a review when the game is all good, but when they experience a little flaw, they instantly throw their dirt, which I find unfair, especially for games made with small budgets like this one. Lightless is well worth the price, so I recommend it to every horror enthusiast out there. 10/10 would sheet my pants again!

Off the rip i was already scared since im not good with handling the darkness. I was pretty tensed up throughout the game and I enjoyed every minute of it and using the glowing orbs was an awesome way to help me navigate the mines, i can honestly it was genius. Im super glad I gave this game a chance. https://youtu.be/e6XbDZ3X-aw

Enjoyable psychological horror game. Throwing glowing orbs as your flashlight mechanic is extremely unique and not something that I have personally seen done in another horror game before. A couple solid jump scares throughout its short playthrough and none of them feel cheap. You do not have a map so as long as you are good about remembering the layout you will do fine navigating the tunnels. Well priced for the experience and would recommend it to any fan of horror games. Looking forward to the next title from this developer.

https://youtu.be/mhERwUkJ2AU Today! We found the corpse of Lightless! Flesh (Visuals): Looks Good! Its set in the dark, in a mine but loved the light orbs and how the mine looked Dismemberment (Difficulty): It's difficult but not difficult, its almost a walking simulator with some danger, if you are good at remembering your steps, its less difficult, if you are good at throwing the light orbs and dealing with the random bounces, then even less difficult, I personally did not find it hard but I can see where the light system to light your way vs a standard crappy flashlight can be troublesome but I loved the light orbs Infestation (Bugs): I did not encounter any bugs that I noticed, every time I thought I got a light orb jammed, it was fine Corpse Integrity (Story): Story is kind of sad but interesting, enjoyed trying to figure it out and seeing what the next event or clue was, so I enjoyed it! Do not want to give any spoilers. Something Off About It? (Ambience): As I jokingly said while playing, who needs the demon guy? The mine and the darkness is terrifying enough! In a cave or mine game, its always pitch black without a light source, so having a flashlight to light your way, bar…

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
