Relight The Dark

Great Game. Really short, maybe no more than 35 min to 100%. I immediately knew this game when I saw the candle. A 3D recreation of my light in the dark was not expected, but I fully welcome it. Just wish there was more content for this game. I do not believe in refunding games if they are shorter than 2 hours, so it will sit in my library for decades to come.

A great shot Horror Story with a really fantastic visual style, mixing RPGMAKER elements with Unity Horror Game elements. I don't necessarily think it's worth 2.99 ( as 100% run time is around 30 minutes), but it's still a great experience.

[h3]Cons:[/h3] - Some dialogues feel kind of cheesy - Most of the achievements... same as above - The ending is a little rushed (especially the "plot-twist") - More generally speaking, the whole thing could have used some more time to properly develop (I get how two-dimensional it all is, but still...) - Keyboard controls kind of get in the way, especially in the final chase [h3]Extras (unaffecting my overall opinion):[/h3] - [i]How can we re—light, the daaaaaaark[/i]... 😁😁😁 - I do know there's a previous, free RPG Maker version of this game as well, named [i][url=https://store.st…

Relight The Dark was a short and sweet little horror game, with a nice story and great nostalgic visuals. It had same kinda of atmosphere, when someone is telling you a horror story. The game itself isn't that long, but will be a great addition to your spooktober playlist. You should definitely give it a try!

[h3] Great game. [/h3] I love the theme of it all. How everything is dark and gloomy. Nothing feels safe or like home. You live in an abusive household thats exactly how it would feel. Nothing feels like it would bring you joy except for a few key things. Thats where this game really pushes an amazing feeling through the art. Where you stumble across key items and they are full of color because you as the character either see a small amount of joy in them, or you find hope in it for the future. Without spoiling too much ill use the apple in the first minute as an example. To you it's more than just an apple. It's a sign of life living there and curiosity. When forced in these situations boredom can take place and using a child like imagination like our character does helps them cope. Not only seeing the apple as a fetch item for our mother, but as a home for the worm that was in it and how the worm escaped the hole in the apple. But on a deeper note i think it describes how the apple may have been a dark hole of a home, but it was also nutrients that fed the worm to grown and become stronger than it once was. The game really goes into deep abuse mindset and coping, and uses an inte…

Super short game with a good aesthetic. The premise is interesting and could be expanded on to make the game longer, especially with the twist ending. Bought it for $1.19 on discount, so I don't feel like I wasted money on it.
