Elara's Light

Elara's Light is a vertical 2D platformer about Elara, a young girl who has spent her life in a dark cavernous pit where shadows whisper and despair hangs in the air. Longing for the light and beauty of the world above, she gathers her courage and begins a difficult climb. Each jump demands precision, and a mistake can send her tumbling back into the depths.

The climb

The simple controls are easy to learn but difficult to master. You can attempt risky jumps that skip parts of the climb, and use the stopwatch to track how quickly you reach the top and compete with friends. There are no enemies; the obstacles are Elara's own doubts and emotions.

The world

Simple visuals and a relaxing soundtrack contrast with the demanding journey. Along the way, Elara meets the forsaken, people who have given up on their own journeys.
