Finding Light

About

Finding Light is a turn-based RPG with a retro handheld aesthetic that emphasizes exploration and narrative. You play as Mari, navigating a fractured world to reunite with a missing loved one. The story unfolds across varied environments from floating skies to submerged ruins, with tactical battles interrupting dialogue-driven moments. Three party members offer distinct abilities but no real-time customization, progression focuses on uncovering lore and environmental puzzles. The game’s grayscale art style creates a moody atmosphere that contrasts with moments of colorful revelation. Players often highlight the emotional core of Mari’s journey, with some noting the pacing feels deliberate but occasionally meandering. As a solo project from developer Joshua Keith, it maintains a distinct vision despite limited polish in combat mechanics. The 2018 release built a small but dedicated following for its atmospheric storytelling over traditional RPG systems.
