About This Game

"Don't be afraid. We are also monsters."

Nono moves through a world that has turned strange and cruel — a forest that grows books instead of leaves, a sky that snows numbers, a place overrun by monsters, and a silent Specter that follows wherever he goes. Something happened to him. He can't yet face it. And the only way forward is through.

Searching Light is a surreal, hand-crafted adventure across two parallel realities. Shift between them to reveal hidden paths, solve riddles only Nono can see and confront the strange and unsettling creatures that stand in your way. Little by little, the world around you begins to mean more than it seems.

A story that came from somewhere real

Searching Light was inspired by and dedicated to the creator's younger brother — an autistic, brilliant mind whose unique way of seeing the world shaped everything about this game. It isn't a game "about" a diagnosis. It's a love letter to a mind that perceives the world differently, and to everyone who has ever felt unseen because they didn't fit the shape the world expected.

What you'll do

• Cross between two worlds — shift between two overlapping realities to reveal hidden paths, traps, and truths that exist in only one of them.

• Leave your body behind — become a ball of light to move objects and solve puzzles from afar, leaving a fragile flower behind each time.

• Face haunting bosses — each one a confrontation that means more than it first seems.

• Uncover the truth — multiple endings, secret memories and hidden depths reward those who look beyond the surface.

An experience for the heart

By turns strange, tender, funny and devastating, Searching Light is made for players who love emotional, story-rich adventures — and for anyone who has ever felt like the world was speaking a language they couldn't quite understand.

We live in a perfect world…
