How it feels

You play a fugitive in a dark, procedurally generated dungeon where you must use light and reflection to outwit a relentless creature, balancing puzzle-solving with tense, linear exploration.

What players say

Players see Stay in the Light as an RTX tech demo rather than a full game. It looks great with ray tracing on, but after a few levels the puzzles feel obscure or tedious and the monster rarely appears. Performance is poor and some report it is locked to 1080p.
