My Very Own Light

My Very Own Light is a 3D puzzle adventure in which you play William, whose other half is trapped in a strange lantern. You wake in an imposing property inspired by horror literature classics, where you solve puzzles, explore the grounds and decide whether to trust the enigmatic hosts who ask for your help. You can share William and his lantern with a friend.

The property

The fully explorable estate covers more than 9 hectares and contains 32 environments. At its center stands a three-floor castle that covers 1.3 hectares, with 152 rooms and 170 windows. You can also explore three underground levels of galleries spanning more than 7 hectares.

The story emerges through the surroundings and more than 160 pieces of information. You encounter eight main protagonists whose fates you can change, as well as emblematic figures from horror literature. Your actions influence the protagonists’ destinies and lead to numerous possible endings. The game’s dark, angular visual style is paired with discreet humor, irony and innuendo.

You choose your route, look for items to aid your journey and manage your equipment. You can switch between first- and third-person views, and place traps to weaken opponents.
