About This Game

A SOULSLIKE METROIDVANIA — WITH WINGS

| Soar. Explore. Conquer!

A handcrafted 2D action-RPG metroidvania where you fly, fight, and forge your legacy through a seamless world shaped by darkness and light.

Explore a richly interconnected realm with no loading screens. Master strategic soulslike combat — on land and in the skies. Absorb the essence of your enemies to evolve, combine elemental Natures to cast powerful spells, and uncover a haunting, immersive lore.

The Light of the Darkness: ORIGINS is a 2D action-RPG that fuses soulslike combat with metroidvania exploration — and introduces a rare, physics-based flying mechanic that completely transforms how you experience the world, in a universe where Castlevania meets Legacy of Kain.

As Sephius, the first and only hybrid born from Light and Darkness, you’ll traverse the treacherous Lands of Oblivion, a dimension caught between two warring realms. Rejected by both sides, you’ll battle enemies in the air and on the ground, absorb their Essence, and grow stronger with every decision you make.

Craft spell combos, explore without interruptions, and discover a world with rich lore, atmospheric art and a soundtrack that pulls you into this universe. Dive in, and let destiny guide your wings.

A SEAMLESS WORLD

Explore a seamless and interconnected world. Zoom in to fight. Zoom out to plan. The game never stops running. Perhaps even use this for your strategies and creativity...

FLIGHT CHANGES EVERYTHING

With physics-based, built for fluid control (especially on gamepad), soar, glide, dive, or hover at anytime, with no cooldowns, or scripts.

FIGHT YOUR WAY OUT

Dodge with precision. Choose between weapons and spells — each with range, cost, and risk. Strike from above to catch enemies off guard, or unleash spells mid-air for tactical advantage.

ABSORB. EVOLVE. CAST

Defeat enemies and absorb their Essence as your source of stamina and magical power. Each opponent carries a unique Nature, absorb them to unlock spells that reflect their elemental origin.

Combine different Natures to forge powerful new spells. And beware: casting the wrong spell can be more beneficial to your enemy rather than yourself

Use stamina to fight, fly, and grow. Use mana to fuel spells with raw arcane force.

REWARDS FOT THE RELENTLESS

| The world doesn’t give. It offers for those who seek and dare.

Explore every corner. Backtrack through biomes to find enemies that replenish your stamina and mana reserves.

Discover hidden items that boost your attributes — and fragments of a deep, ancient lore waiting to be pieced together.

A STORY CARVED IN LIGHT AND DARKNESS

Awakened with no memory, you must recover your lost self by absorbing the Essence of others and uncovering the truth behind your creation. The deeper you go, the more you remember. But some memories are dangerous — and some truths, better left buried.
