THANKS, LIGHT.

Don't just see the silhouette.
Shine light to reveal the truth
hidden in every shadow.

A solid puzzle mechanic
with remote object interaction,
like Portal and The Talos Principle.

Hover to shine light on the silhouette

This Is Not a Hexagon

Without light, you only see an object's silhouette.
With light, you see its true form.

THANKS, LIGHT. is a first-person puzzle adventure
where you manipulate light to transform the world between 2D and 3D.
Light creates physics — darkness erases it.

  • Illuminate — Shine light to reveal 3D forms.
    Objects gain weight, collision, and physics.
    A flat hexagon becomes a cube you can stand on.
  • Absorb — Remove light to strip away volume and mass.
    Objects flatten into weightless, static 2D silhouettes.
    A rolling ball freezes into a circle on the wall.
  • Mirror, Lens & Merge — Duplicate objects, resize them,
    or combine two forms into entirely new tools.
    Five mechanics, layered puzzles.

One Shape, Three Shadows

A single 3D object can cast
a circle, a square, or a triangle
— depending on your perspective.

Every puzzle in the game is built on this geometric principle.
Drag to rotate and discover each silhouette.
