About the Game

Welcome to Safelight: the first-person puzzle horror, and debut game, from BiMonocle Games.

You are an amateur photographer, and you find yourself suddenly alone on a Victorian-themed cruise ship, previously filled with passengers. As you explore it becomes apparent that entire areas of the ship have vanished. You're left with nothing but your wits and a makeshift darkroom that you've set up in your cabin. Hidden rolls of film help you recover areas that had disappeared and reveal new secrets about the supernatural elements in play.

PUZZLES

Navigate the vacant cruise ship while solving puzzles as you attempt to piece together the story behind the vanishing passengers.

DANGEROUS ENTITIES

Avoid hostile entities that roam the ship and are drawn to bright light sources.

EERIE ENVIRONMENTS

Realistic graphics, sinister sound design, and dark, somber environments create constant tension.

MINIMAL USER INTERFACES

Simplified HUD and minimal user interfaces improve immersion, further adding to the fear.
