About the Game

A short walking simulator where you can change environment lighting with the press of a button using the real-time lighting of Unreal Engine 5, where secrets may be revealed by the light or the dark.

Optional paths may hold secret rooms and bits of lore. If a path looks scary, it can usually be avoided if you just want to relax. There is no combat or HUD. No puzzle-solving is required to complete the game.

The radio is your tool to change the world lighting, and indicates the current lighting state. A tuner can catch stray signals in some areas, and you might hear music, or possibly other sounds hidden in the static...

The minimal story is mostly told through environment details. There will be a few different endings depending on your actions. But the main focus is to simply enjoy the atmosphere.

Please enjoy your stay in the Drift Halls.
