Where Light Fails 

Where Light Fails is a 2D platformer puzzle game where your own shadow becomes the key to solving challenges.

Record your movements, then watch as your shadow repeats them—allowing you to interact with the world in clever ways. Work together with your past self to overcome obstacles, unlock paths, and solve puzzles that require both timing and strategy.

But beware: staying in Record Mode comes at a cost. Your HP slowly drains the longer you record, forcing you to balance careful planning with survival. Every decision matters, because the light won’t last forever…
