Thank you very much, and enjoy the gameplay!

Traverse a mysterious cave with your magical lantern and discover you've fallen into a world far darker and more dangerous than you imagined.

The Lightseeker is a 2D platformer that blends precise mechanics, deep narrative, and retro visuals into an accessible, personal experience of overcoming adversity.

Lost in a complex of caverns after a collapse, Analú must find a way out of a place that grows ever stranger and more fantastical.

With the help of a magical lantern and its former owner, a ghost touched by the cave’s shadows, she must use hope and courage to face ever greater challenges and earn her freedom.

Cross more than 20 levels across 4 distinct biomes:

• Overcome deadly chasms and spikes in the Throat of the Earth.

• Flee the searing magma in the Blazing Chamber.

• Navigate the dark with skill in the Prismatic Fissure.

• Break reality and the laws of physics in the Stellar Abyss.

Your magical lantern will be your primary tool to traverse the caves.

Turn your courage into power and fire projectiles of light that can launch Analú to previously inaccessible places, overcoming the obstacles of this labyrinth of stone and shadow.

Mix perception, skill and creativity to clear demanding stages. Use the map to your advantage and think fast, any mistake can be fatal.

You are not the first to get lost in these labyrinths...

Scattered through each level you’ll find memories of past explorers of this Cave. Seek them out through challenges to uncover more stories about the many faces of this place, its shadows and its visitors.

The Lightseeker combines pixel art with modern lighting technologies, capturing the retro atmosphere of the games we grew up with while embracing decades of advances in game design, narrative and graphical quality.
