About After Light Fades

Solve, evolve, and let go.After Light Fades is a magical sokoban-style puzzle journey about grief, memory, and transformation.You play as Alice, who, after the loss of her partner Aura, discovers seven artefacts tied to powerful memories. To heal, she must revisit the places they once shared and cast each artefact into an abyss, where each world reflects a stage of Alice’s emotional journey. As you part with each artefact, you also give up the unique mechanic it granted, turning the act of puzzle-solving into a powerful reflection on letting go.

Seven Emotional Puzzle Worlds

Explore seven handcrafted fantasy environments, spanning over 100 puzzles, each reflecting a stage of grief. From shimmering coves to shifting manors, every world features its own emotional tone and puzzle mechanics, each ending in a powerful act of letting go.

Interconnected Sokoban-Inspired Mechanics

Solve spatial puzzles where objects interact in surprising and meaningful ways. Use mirrors, magnets, fire, vines, clones, and elemental systems in deeply layered challenges that evolve far beyond traditional box-pushing.

A Deep Story of Healing and Transformation

Experience a metaphor-driven narrative told through puzzles and play. Each artefact you master must eventually be left behind, mirroring the emotional journey of grief, acceptance, and change.

Sokoban game where you pull items instead of pushing them. For someone who plays a lot of sokoban games, gameplay will feel very awkward and unintuitive.

A common mistake that new puzzle makers fall victim to is that they drown their puzzles with lots of objects to create the illusion of difficulty. In reality, it only increases the tedium.

I've never played a sokoban puzzle game before. This was SUCH an enjoyable experience. I only played for a little over an hour, but each puzzle was genuinely so great. I had to actually sit and think on some of the levels. Solving each puzzle, regardless of the difficulty, felt rewarding every time. Looking forward to playing more!

Definitely need to check this game out if you like puzzle games! I wasn't familiar with Sokoban-type puzzles so there was a big learning curve for me, but the game has been really fun! It's also beautiful with soothing music. It can get very difficult at times, but that just means you're working out your brain. I love puzzles and figuring things out, it's a must-have if you do too!

I Thoroughly enjoyed what I have played of this game so far. The levels have a relaxing and mysterious feel to them like being lost in an ancient garden. A word of warning though, there is a bit of a learning curve and the puzzles can be quite challenging
