這款是劇情互動類型的遊戲 透過選擇不同的對話而解鎖不同的劇情 劇情好看但很沈重 bgm也很好聽 玩完第一round的時間大約在2個小時 結局有好幾個,需要多次才能全部看完 好遊戲推薦!
CHP boy meets DHKP-C girl tarzı imkansız bir ship , indirimde alın oynayın eskilerin bildiği sağlam bir visual novel
没想到这么久的游戏还有bug,在行动选项时还是行动选项前的文本打开笔记,然后回到选项页面就动不了了,点什么都没反应 游戏本身一般,游戏系统太拉了全收集都懒得打,给个中评吧
Steam Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Title: A short but deeply moving experience that quietly stays with you. A Light in the Dark may seem like a simple visual novel at first glance, but it left a much deeper impression on me than I expected. It tells the story of a rich boy who gets kidnapped by a girl from a completely different world—and yet, instead of being about violence or thrill, it's about understanding, empathy, and how two broken people slowly begin to see each other as human. The game doesn't rely on fanservice or flashy tropes. It keeps everything grounded and real, and that’s what makes it hit even harder. The writing is sharp, mature, and sensitive. The emotional weight builds up gradually, and by the end, it feels like you’ve lived through something meaningful. The art and music are understated but beautiful. The limited choices and short length (around 5–6 hours) work in its favor—it never overstays its welcome and makes every scene feel important. If you love emotional, character-driven stories that focus on slow, meaningful bonds—this is absolutely worth your time. No cheap drama, just two people slowly changing each other's world in quiet, profound ways.
Визуальная новелла на любителя. Медленный скип + кривой интерфейс + очень короткая Сюжет интересный,ведь наблюдать за тем как взаимодействуют между собой два человека из абсолютно разных социальных положений не так уж и скучно. Рисовка дает хороший плюс игре. Стоило бы своих денег если бы история не была такой короткой, а так на вечерок сойдет.
"A light in the Dark" - визуальная новелла которая поднимает сложные, приземленные и по-настоящему болезненные темы, заставляя не просто следить за происходящим, а буквально проживать все вместе с героями, осознавая разные статусы социального неравенства. Нам показывают только 3х персонажей. 1. Главный герой - он богатый парень, несмотря на свой статус, он чувствует себя одиноким и отчужденным и не видит особого смысла в своей благополучной, но пустой жизни. 2. Девушка, которая со своим сообщником похищает нашего главного героя. Она выросла в нищете, так скажем в низах общества, замкнута и ожесточена и пошла на преступления чтоб спасти тех, кто ей дорог. 3. Младшая сестра девушки, светлая невинная и хрупкая девочка. Которая является главным лучиком света и мотивации для своей старшей сестры. Но, отдельно и больше всего мне хочется выделить музыкальное сопровождение от композитора Yui Han (вроде как он). Саундтрек здесь потрясающий: он мастерски балансирует между моментами жесткого, давящего напряжения и невероятно нежными, меланхоличными мелодиями. Музыка идеально подчеркивает контраст между безысходностью ситуации проблесками человеческого тепла, когда показывают взаимоотношения между сестрами. Очень приятно было просто наблюдать за приятным визуально нарисованными персонажами и просто слушать музыкальную композицию.
Great art. Great OST. Decent story. Stockholm Syndrome. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to unlock the "new" ending, but it's still a good, short rainy weekend VN.
Comprei sem muita expectativa de ser algo bom e fui surpreendido. A primeira vista, me parecia um jogo com temática pós-apocalíptica (não sei de onde tirei isso ksksks) e acabou sendo uma surpresa nos primeiros minutos que comecei a ler, mudando completamente minha impressão do jogo. Por mais que seja um jogo curto, A Light in The Dark conseguiu me cativar com as poucas primeiras horas, pegando um final meio agridoce e me deixando curioso nos demais detalhes que não encontrei na primeira jogatina. Vale muito a pena dar um chance.
хз, чет все хаотично, как cъeбaтьcя до окончания так и не понял, везде бесполезные диалоги и выборы, которые практически не меняют сюжет, только в конце игры. Предметы тоже бесполезные (вопрос, зачем их вообще обозревать), которые даже нельзя залутать, чтобы сбежать.
I first came across A Light in the Dark completely by chance while browsing a games website. Back then, I was around sixteen. After seeing it, I didn’t even try to download it—I knew my computer probably wouldn’t be able to run it anyway. So instead, I watched a full walkthrough on YouTube. Something about it caught my attention immediately. Maybe it was the cover art, or the sadness it seemed to carry—not just in its name, but in its overall aesthetic. There was a quiet heaviness to it, a sense of melancholy that drew me in before I even knew what the game was about. For reasons I still can’t fully explain, it stayed with me. Years later, the memory of this game resurfaced out of nowhere. I usually don’t replay games, but this time I did—perhaps out of a hopeless attempt to reconnect with my younger self, to be briefly transported back to who I was back then. It was a bittersweet experience, rough and honest in its sadness. I replayed it and finished it in one sitting. One thing that truly stayed with me was the soundtrack. It’s melancholic, but beautiful, and it fits the tone of the game perfectly. There’s one piano melody in particular that never left me. I’ve always loved the piano, and that simple tune lingered in my mind long after the game was over, quietly echoing emotions I never quite knew how to name. This time, I bought the game—not only to finally experience it properly, but also to support the developer. I guess we’re even now, after having almost pirated it all those years ago. As I said before, the game isn’t particularly good, and the story isn’t anything remarkable. And yet, somehow, I really liked it. Maybe because some games aren’t meant to impress, but to remind you of a feeling you once had—and can never fully get back.
