About Lightless
Navid, a writer, returns to his hometown (Iran, Saqqez) after living abroad for a long time. Upon checking into a hotel in his old neighborhood, his past silently comes knocking, plunging him into a nightmarish struggle that will push his sanity relentlessly as he fights to escape a home whose ghostly residents have other plans.
Game play:
In this 2D atmospheric horror game, players navigate the main character in a classic point and click fashion to explore a haunted house riddled with evils from the past. While trying to escape the ghosts of deceased residents, you search for interactable items in the many abandoned rooms, slowly unraveling the mysteries and secrets of this cursed dwelling.

Really good quality once you get past the 1000 yard stare of the mc. Bro was handed a powerpoint slide and the wicked dream to haunt a house, and made art.1 found this helpful
Yes, although its really disappointing there wont be any more to the story, its a really good game, scary even, i had fun. Wish there was more. Oh and also the save mechanism is a little weird, why not let us manually save from the start?1 found this helpful
Игра 'Lightless' - это атмосферное приключение с видом сверху, погружающее в мрачный и загадочный мир, где царит тьма. Сюжет, хоть и не блещет оригинальностью, увлекает благодаря интересным персонажам и любопытным загадкам, связанным с источником этой самой тьмы. Геймплей представляет собой смесь исследования локаций, решения головоломок и сражений с монстрами. Боевая система проста, но требует тактического подхода, особенно в условиях ограниченной видимости. Важно грамотно использовать немногочисленные источники света, чтобы обнаруживать врагов и находить путь. Визуально игра выглядит стильно, с преобладанием темных тонов и выдержанной цветовой палитрой, создающей ощущение безысходности. Атмосферу дополняет качественное звуковое сопровождение, нагнетающее напряжение и подчеркивающее опасность. Несмотря на некоторые шероховатости в управлении и порой неочевидные решения головоломок, 'Lightless' оставляет после себя приятное впечатление. Это достойный представитель жанра, который способен увлечь любителей атмосферных приключений и тех, кто ищет challenge в мрачном сеттинге.1 found this helpful
"Lightless" is is not a complete game. It's an advertisement/demo, and you have to pay more money through DLC to actually unlock the game. What do you get if you let the deceptive and shady marketing win and pay the DLC toll to unlock the game? "Lightless" is just point and click adventuring in this Unity kitbash, a bunch of someone else's game assets dumped on someone else's Unity adventure game template/blueprint as the developer tries to get YOUR money for someone else's game assets.. But remember... you don't get the full game unless you pay up. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $3 USD to unlock content needed for the full game, and I don't recommend you do that either. The game this is advertising is fairly dated at 5 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. As an advertisement, this is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in th…1 found this helpful
