Relight The Dark

Relight The Dark was a short and sweet little horror game, with a nice story and great nostalgic visuals. It had same kinda of atmosphere, when someone is telling you a horror story. The game itself isn't that long, but will be a great addition to your spooktober playlist. You should definitely give it a try!

[h3] Great game. [/h3] I love the theme of it all. How everything is dark and gloomy. Nothing feels safe or like home. You live in an abusive household thats exactly how it would feel. Nothing feels like it would bring you joy except for a few key things. Thats where this game really pushes an amazing feeling through the art. Where you stumble across key items and they are full of color because you as the character either see a small amount of joy in them, or you find hope in it for the future. Without spoiling too much ill use the apple in the first minute as an example. To you it's more than just an apple. It's a sign of life living there and curiosity. When forced in these situations boredom can take place and using a child like imagination like our character does helps them cope. Not only seeing the apple as a fetch item for our mother, but as a home for the worm that was in it and how the worm escaped the hole in the apple. But on a deeper note i think it describes how the apple may have been a dark hole of a home, but it was also nutrients that fed the worm to grown and become stronger than it once was. The game really goes into deep abuse mindset and coping, and uses an interesting narrative as it progresses for not only those affected by trauma but those that want a casual horror game. I really enjoyed my time playing this experience and achieving all the achievements.
