Guiding Light
A downloadable game for Windows
"I suppose it was foolish of me to think you would be just like all the other souls that showed up here."
Navigate the ominous realm of the dead in this blind-accessible, narrative-driven game about death and what comes after. Guided by their cheeky gatekeeper, newly-deceased Uri must track down their missing memories in 3 eerie levels of the afterlife.
This game was created by Distance Over Time, a team of devs formed out of the IGDA Foundation's 2023 Virtual Exchange Velocity cohort.
