Mislight

About

Guide a little girl through a dark forest teeming with shadow creatures. In Mislight, you navigate side-scrolling environments using a flickering flashlight to expose and evade enemies. The core mechanic revolves around light and darkness, illuminate paths to reveal hidden dangers while platforming and solving environmental puzzles. Tight controls and a methodical pace create tension as you balance exploration with survival. The game’s single-player campaign unfolds across varied forest settings, each with distinct visual themes and escalating challenges. Etherlight crafts a moody atmosphere with minimalist art and atmospheric sound design. The June 2023 release brought praise for its clever use of light-based gameplay and suspenseful pacing. While short at around four hours, the game’s focused design and eerie tone leave a strong impression. Available exclusively on PC, Mislight appeals to players who enjoy puzzle platformers with a psychological edge.
