About
Solve, evolve, and let go.
After Light Fades is a magical sokoban-style puzzle journey about grief, memory, and transformation.
You play as Alice, who, after the loss of her partner Aura, discovers seven artefacts tied to powerful memories. To heal, she must revisit the places they once shared and cast each artefact into an abyss, where each world reflects a stage of Alice’s emotional journey. As you part with each artefact, you also give up the unique mechanic it granted, turning the act of puzzle-solving into a powerful reflection on letting go.
Explore seven handcrafted fantasy environments, spanning over 100 puzzles, each reflecting a stage of grief. From shimmering coves to shifting manors, every world features its own emotional tone and puzzle mechanics, each ending in a powerful act of letting go.
Solve spatial puzzles where objects interact in surprising and meaningful ways. Use mirrors, magnets, fire, vines, clones, and elemental systems in deeply layered challenges that evolve far beyond traditional box-pushing.
Experience a metaphor-driven narrative told through puzzles and play. Each artefact you master must eventually be left behind, mirroring the emotional journey of grief, acceptance, and change.

I Thoroughly enjoyed what I have played of this game so far. The levels have a relaxing and mysterious feel to them like being lost in an ancient garden. A word of warning though, there is a bit of a learning curve and the puzzles can be quite challenging
It is refreshing to play a Sokoban that goes way beyond block pushing puzzles!
I can easily lose hours playing this game, it’s very addictive. The puzzles are challenging, but solving them is deeply satisfying. The controls and sound effects are really well done, and the environments are beautiful. The music adds a real sense of calm while playing. I also had a great time experimenting with the level editor, and it made me realise how much effort must’ve gone into designing each level!
