Avoid the dark at all cost in upcoming first-person puzzler Lightmatter

A mind-bending puzzle-adventure is inbound for PC gamers with Lightmatter. The nifty-looking puzzler revolves around lighting areas in a sci-fi setting where the dark literally is out to kill you. Lightmatter is coming out very soon, this Wednesday, January 15th on Steam. Check out the trailer here!

Leave it to small game developers to reinvent and reinvigorate gaming experiences with unique and sometimes outlandish ideas. What many here may have done in their childhood is the main premise of Tunnel Vision Games’ inbound first-person puzzler. You’ll play as a visitor of a cutting-edge technological facility that claims to have solved humanity’s energy problems. But things go amiss and you end up in grave danger where the only thing separating you from certain death is light.

Yes, the shadows and darkness itself is the enemy here with you having to think outside the box and solve puzzles and environmental dangers alike. Survive at all costs and make it out. Lightmatter reminds us of other greats in the genre which started to pop up after the brilliant Portal duology showed that first-person can be much more than just used for shooting bad guys.
