How it feels

You explore a series of early prototypes, solving light-and-shadow puzzles with a reflective, behind-the-scenes feel.

What players say

Players call it a generous free collection of prototypes showing how Lightmatter evolved from a 2013 university project to its 2020 release. It is janky and glitchy and some puzzles do not always play by their own rules, but fans of the final game find it fascinating and nostalgic.
