7 itemsAbout the Game
Explore the world of Vector with Pal and join an epic adventure to break the mysterious curse preventing Pal from staying under the light.
Pale Night is a styled minimalist 2D adventure with a twist on the classic platformer genre, where your character must avoid light at all cost. During your journey through the Vector world you'll explore sleeping forests, moody caverns, and overcome your fears within the Mount Thunder.
The world of Pale Night is filled with hidden secrets and puzzles based on lights and shadows. Collecting all prisms add an extra challenge for players who are willing to conquer it. Use the dash orb and the dig orb to move lightning fast under the shadows, and use the cloud orb to control the shades. Once you've mastered the game, showcase your platforming skills within speedrunning challenges.
