Fiat Lux - Let There Be Light
A downloadable game for Windows
"Avoid...
the......
light...."
Story Description:
On August 21st, 2024, the world ended. After weeks of warning from the local church about an upcoming "radiant rapture" coming to take us, it really came. The locals are always talking about some end of the world event, how could I expect this one to be true? However, it wasn't what I would have expected. This was a rapture from our own lights.
Anyone caught under a bright enough manmade light, such as a streetlight, completely vanished when nobody was looking. Only 3 days later, every city I've stopped in has fell entirely silent...
Although the sun seems safe, I've been carefully avoiding every lamp and streetlight I see as I head north. I... want to visit my mom one last time, see if she is alright during all of this. She hasn't picked up the phone, but she rarely does anyways for me.
I know I probably won't come back after this, but I don't plan to...

Dev Note:
Thank you for stopping to check out my game! I still feel I am very new at this, so every kind comment and bit of feedback I receive means the world to me! I wasn't satisfied with my last project, so although I took it down I've been having a great time working on this since November! Once again, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy :D
Changelog:
-v1.02: Slightly adjusted hand UI opacity, changed default brightness setting and added two additional brighter settings! Thank you to folks who reported the game was too dark, hopefully this helps a little!

Interesting theme, I love the story but the game have some little issues like the stairs for the ranger station and the slow text

I’d love to help localize Fiat Lux - Let There Be Light into Turkish! Let me know if you're interested. You can reach me at muhammetbarankuban@gmail.com
Looking forward to your response!
quite possibly the best indie game ive played in a while, loved the art style and and spooky jumpscares
The graphics are soooooo good! And the jumpscares were perfectly executed. Genuinely screamed in my friends' ears. The story was so fun to piece together and had just enough left out to theorize. Was awesome!
Very good game but only two problems too dark and slow text. I had too increase the brightness and cut parts between the text to make it faster.
I apologize! I plan to patch and make it brighter soon! Thank you for the feedback and thank you sincerely for playing! :>
It's all good; no apologies necessary
Just updated to make the game brighter by default! Once again thanks for letting me know, I appreciate the feedback!
GOOD
thank you for playing! always a pleasure to see your videos
:D :* YOUR WELCOME
Incredible piece of art! However, it has some issues: the text progresses really slowly.
Hmm I agree, I think I'll patch and speed it up soon, especially for the intro lol
Very cool concept and execution. I really enjoyed exploring the world, the cutscenes were very stylish. I'm not gonna lie, ending 3 made every hair on my body stand up.
Thank you for playing! I'm glad I was able to give you a little spook lol
