A Light in the Dark

A Light in the Dark is a visual novel about Hao-Chen Jiang, a rich boy who wakes up tied up in an unfamiliar, dim room and realizes he has been kidnapped. A girl tells him his captors will not let him go unless his family pays a ransom, though the kidnapping may involve more than money.

Two lives

Hao-Chen has been stuck in an unchanging daily life, while his kidnapper is a fierce girl struggling to survive. During his imprisonment, the two learn about worlds beyond their own and confront their deep-rooted prejudices as they face difficult choices.

Escape

Alongside the story, an interactive section lets you examine objects around Hao-Chen as he tries to devise a plan to escape. Stamina is a factor as you investigate, and the story has multiple endings.
