The Light Switch has been released for free for Linux on Steam.

In this horror game, you have only a few seconds to find a shadow in a dark room that plays an eerie game of hide and seek with you. It offers four game modes, over 100 random events and three endings.

The shadow speaks to you. It wants to play a game. You’ll have only a few seconds to find it.

Four different game modes, each using light and shadow in a unique way - think quickly, look intently, don’t miss any details. You wouldn’t want to make the shadow angry.

Three ways to play: Story Mode, Custom Mode, and Endless Mode each offer a different experience.

Over 100 random events involving light, sound, and the objects in the room mean that every playthrough is different - don’t get disoriented when your world gets turned upside down, literally.

Three endings requiring mastery of the game modes tell the story. Why are you haunted by darkness itself?

Hide and Seek: The shadow will find somewhere in the room to hide. No peeking until it’s done moving.

Flashlight Tag: The power is out. Use your flashlight to find the shadow before it’s too late.

Storm Chaser: Even when your batteries are out, you can still play. Wait for the lightning strike and find the shadow. But this is the lightning round - you won’t have much time.

Prop Hunt: The shadow is hiding something. Look closely.

Content Warning: This game contains content that some may find disturbing, including indirect references to death and suicide.
