Perilous Light

Perilous Light is a Lovecraftian 2D puzzle-platformer in which you play as a scarred little vampire trying to survive a mine ruled by a monstrous angel. You avoid deadly light, use shadows for shelter, solve puzzles and manipulate mechanisms to find a way out.

The Hollow of the Angel

You joined an expedition of vampires drawn to the fabled Hollow of the Angel by the promise of Tears of the Angel, priceless blood crystals. Your kind’s vision made it easy to navigate the pitch-black tunnels, and the expedition reached the mine’s deepest layer, the mineralized zone. When the crystals were extracted, the shaft collapsed, madness overtook your companions, and blazing light filled the underground world. Even a single misstep into its searing glow can mean instant death.

Puzzles and dangers

You awaken among the ruins, attacked and abandoned by your maddened companions. Familiar corridors have become difficult to navigate, with deadly traps and shifting mechanisms blocking the way. You must work through the puzzles and use the environment to carve a path to freedom. The game also asks what you will do when you stand before IT.
