About The Light Keeps Us Safe
The Light Keeps Us Safe is a procedurally generated apocalypse in which you leave a failing bunker and use light to survive in a desolate world. You explore, evade alien machines and use a modular flashlight to solve puzzles and overcome traps. The environment changes with each playthrough.
The world and its enemies
Aggressive alien machines patrol the world. You can run, hide and use stealth to avoid them, including hiding in plain sight from light-fearing enemies under spotlights, streetlamps and the failing lights of burned-out factories and railway yards. The hostile environment contains pitfalls, poison, tripwires, booby traps and hallucinations.
Use light to survive
Your flashlight can be upgraded with modular parts. Its light reveals hidden structures, charges light-sensitive machines, and dazzles and overloads enemies. Light-based puzzles and challenges put these abilities to use as you make your way through the world.
