Behind the Light is a short, story driven puzzle game about discovering the truth behind something we only get once. Venture through an unfamiliar place to uncover its mysteries, battle with darkness and reach the light, uncovering that we only get one life, full of darkness and light, which we need to learn to balance.

Fullscreen for best experience! :D

This game looks really good, and plays well. Not sure I see the connection between the gameplay and the final message which connects the game to the theme.

Thanks for the kind words! The message behind the game was supposed to be accepting that sometimes even darkness can help us see light and live the one life we have. But it is slightly obscured behind quotes, that is true. 

Thank you for playing the game, glad you enjoyed it!

Peak game!
