After Light Fades is a sokoban-style puzzle game about grief, memory and transformation. You play as Alice, who discovers seven artefacts tied to powerful memories after the loss of her partner, Aura. To heal, she revisits places they shared and casts each artefact into an abyss. Each world reflects a stage of Alice’s emotional journey, and giving up an artefact also means losing the puzzle mechanic it granted.

Seven puzzle worlds

The game spans seven handcrafted fantasy environments and more than 100 puzzles. Each world has its own emotional tone and mechanics, from shimmering coves to shifting manors, and ends with an act of letting go.

Evolving mechanics

You solve spatial puzzles in which objects interact in layered ways. Mechanics include mirrors, magnets, fire, vines, clones and elemental systems, extending beyond traditional box-pushing puzzles. As you progress, you master each artefact’s mechanic before leaving it behind.

Story and healing

The narrative unfolds through puzzles and play, using metaphor to follow Alice’s journey through grief, acceptance and change.

Create and share puzzles

A level editor lets you build puzzles using the game’s full feature set. You can upload your creations to Steam Workshop and play levels made by the community.
