LIGHT: Black Cat & Amnesia Girl

First Impression: 9/10 so far. I beat the first main area and so far am really loving this game. It is clearly inspired by Little Nightmares from the music style down to the atmosphere, yet holds its own unique identity and charm. A must play for fans of Little Nightmares. Final Review: 9/10 still, but barely. I beat the full game and have found almost all the secrets. The atmosphere and story are excellent and are where this game really shines in my opinion. The soundtrack is very well done, but at times feels almost like a rip-off of the Little Nightmares theme music. There are also a couple scenes in the game that feel like they were copied directly from Little Nightmares 2. There is definitely an identity crisis with this game, but that's okay. For the most part, it holds its own as a fun little horror puzzle adventure game. There are two main gameplay weaknesses that this game suffers from but are not enough for me to lower my rating: 1. The puzzles often move way too slow. The girls animations are too slow and some of the puzzle elements also move incredibly slow, namely the railroad sections of the 3rd chapter. I consider it to also be the weakest chapter in the game by far. Every other level and area was excellent, however, in level design and pacing. 2. The final boss lady is very annoying. She has a very wide range that she can see you and the girl, and it makes the otherwise epic final boss encounter a constant cycle of dying and trying again because she managed to see you just barely peeking out from cover. There is one other thing that I do wish this game would have done more of: Teamwork between the cat and the girl. Often it felt kind of pointless to be playing as the cat when the girl did 90% of the actual gameplay actions. I think it would be neat to see moments where you can tell the girl to stay, say to stand on a button or operate a lever, while you as the cat access higher areas or smaller spaces that the girl can't go through, stuff like that. I think there was a lot of lost potential there. Perhaps a sequel (if one ever happens) could remedy this and my other issues with the game. Overall it was a solid experience and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and story. I highly recommend if you're looking for a Little Nightmares-inspired game.

Fun game, interesting puzzles, and good story

Nice atmospherics. Puzzles not too hard. Optimisation is a bit lacking but get it in a sale and you’ll forget all about that. Works ok on steam deck too 🙂
