SplitLight is a 2D atmospheric puzzle-platformer where you awaken in a forgotten dreamspace with no memory — only a fragile lantern to guide your way. Every step forward uncovers haunting memories and twisted reflections of the self. But beware: the more you reveal, the more the darkness sees you.
“You do not remember who you are.
All you have is a flickering lantern.
The deeper you go, the more the light reveals… and the more it attracts.”
You are a lost soul traversing The Below, a shattered world representing broken memories, regrets, and forgotten truths. Each level reveals metaphors for internal struggles. Your only guide is the lantern — a tool of light, identity, and danger.
- 🔦 Lantern Mechanics — Reveal hidden platforms, solve puzzles, attract or repel enemies
- 🧠 Metaphorical Enemies — Avoid manifestations of guilt, shame, and fear
- 🌌 Thematic Worlds — 5 dreamlike realms reflecting emotional states
- 🧩 Light-Based Puzzles — Mirrors, time-sensitive paths, flicker mechanics
- 👁️ Environmental Storytelling — Lore delivered through echoes, visuals, and atmosphere
- 🔚 Multiple Endings — Based on your choices and exploration
- 🎴 Collectibles — Light Fragments reveal fragments of your identity
5 Worlds × 5 Levels = 25 handcrafted stages
Each world has a unique theme:
- The Hollow Gate — Amnesia / The first spark
- Cradle of Dust — Lost innocence / Childhood memories
- Tower of Echoes — Guilt and burdens
- The Veinworks — Depression and decay
- The Split — Self-confrontation and choice
