About the Game



Hostlight is a challenging single-player first-person puzzle game that will embark you on a mysterious adventure. Solve puzzles by using LIGHTS AND SHADOWS, and discover what lies ahead in an intriguing tower.





o Use your brain to complete intriguing and challenging puzzles by using lights and shadows with innovative gameplay mechanics.

o Create the pieces required to solve the puzzles through the use of projected shadows.

o Lights and shadows can be projected by manipulating silhouettes that hit the player to obtain the necessary pieces.

o Play around with the primary light colours (Red, Green, and Blue) to mix and match and complete puzzles. Only the white light creates objects!

o Take advantage of the environment — Use mirrors to direct light beams and use rails.

o To complete from one level to another you need to light up the platform in the middle of each room.

o Play through over 20 levels, each designed to offer different puzzles and challenges.
