About the Game

📝 About This Game

Against The Light is a story-driven visual novel set in a futuristic university.

You play as a student whose life changes after meeting a mysterious girl. What starts as curiosity slowly turns into something deeper, as you spend more time with her and begin to notice that something feels… off.

Through your choices, you’ll shape your relationship, discover hidden sides of the story, and decide how far you’re willing to go to understand the truth.

Not everything is what it seems.

And sometimes, the closer you get to the light… the more it blinds you.
