What is Light Fall?

Light Fall is a single-player 2D platformer set in Numbra, where you work to save the land and its inhabitants from an approaching threat. You use a magical box called the Shadow Core to propel yourself through its regions and find alternate routes, accompanied by Stryx, an owl who narrates your journey.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy replaying routes to improve your completion times
  • +you like searching for hidden collectibles and optional challenges

Not for you if...

  • −you want a lengthy campaign rather than a short, replayable game
