As cringingly edgy as this might sound, darkness has never looked so good. Light Fall is an atmospheric, and maddeningly challenging platform set in a dark and magical continent. Playing as a small sprite-like creature you have to explore the hauntingly beautiful, dangerous and empty expanse. Narrated by a strange owl that seems more bored by your presence than interested, it’s your job to find out what happened to the people of this land.

Along the way, you’ll learn about the history of the continent known as Numbra, as well as the religion that permeates the darkness. When adventurers first discovered this place, they found the sun was missing. And this permanent darkness makes this 2D game very interesting to look at. Most of the background is made of shades of grey, black, purple and blue and they are nicely fit together it almost feels like you’re running through a work of art. Not a particularly happy work of art but a work of art nonetheless. Mixed in is the occasion flicks of golden hues and pastel colors that hint at the life that survives in the darkness. It’s so nice to find a game that marries its color palette so well across a variety of locations.
