Light Bearers

Light Bearers is a multiplayer asymmetrical hide-and-seek game. Each round, one player becomes the Shadow, while the others play as Light Bears and try to avoid infection. Infected Light Bears become Shadow Bears and help the Shadow capture and infect the remaining Light Bears.

Round objectives

The Light Bears win if they reach the Light Pool at the end of the round. The Shadow wins if the Shadow and its minions infect all the Light Bears before time runs out. All bears play in first person; most Shadows play in third person, giving them greater situational awareness.

Bear abilities

Both types of bear can use map mechanics to help them. Shadow Bears can travel quickly around the map using Shadow teleports, while Light Bears can hide in spots scattered across it. Light Bears have a Dash to escape danger, and Shadow Bears can create a wall to stop their prey from getting away.

Shadows and customization

The free-to-play version includes two unlocked Shadows. Each Shadow has three abilities designed for its play style, offering different mechanics and combinations. The Full Game DLC unlocks all available Shadows, including future Shadows, as well as customization content for Light Bears.
