Chasing Her Light

Chasing Her Light is a survival-adventure game about a man searching a snow-covered forest for his dog. After his wife dies in a car accident, he leaves the city for a remote cabin with the dog she gave him shortly before her death. When the dog disappears into the wilderness, he takes an axe and sets out to find her, with only fading warmth to sustain him.

Search the forest

Cut through trees to move deeper into the forest and get closer to your dog. Trees fall in stages rather than with a single chop, with visual feedback as you work. Upgraded axes let you cut faster and reach areas blocked by denser trees.

Stay warm

The forest is cold, so you build fires and manage your heat. Your cabin is your only refuge; keep its fire alive or risk freezing in the wild.

Gather resources

Collect wood and rare pinecones, then sell them to afford axe upgrades. Your search through the wilderness also follows a personal story about loss, memory and the bond between a man and his dog.
