✧ Shards of Light

🌑 About the game

Shards of Light is a narrative and atmospheric game that immerses the player in a mysterious world, guided only by a fragile glow.
The concept revolves around exploration and discovery: venturing into darkness while following a shard of light that becomes both a beacon and a symbol of hope.

The visual and sound design aim to strengthen the feeling of solitude and tension, with a minimalist yet evocative art direction.

🎮 Gameplay

Your only ally is the light you carry.

• The light slowly fades over time or when you encounter enemies.
• Enemies drain your light quickly, and without it… you die.
• The further you go into the labyrinth, the more valuable crystals you can find.

But there’s a choice to make:

• Press forward into darkness for greater rewards, at the risk of losing everything.
• Return to your cauldron at any time to bank your collected crystals in safety.

With each run, you balance risk and reward: light means safety but fewer rewards, darkness means danger but richer treasures.

ℹ️ Press 'B' at any moment to call forth a guiding wisp, leading you safely back to your cauldron.
