About the Game

Welcome to Sunbeam, a Game of Light and Dark.

In this game, you will navigate the complexities of an unknown place, meeting familiar faces and hearing familiar voices. After being plunged into an unknown place, you can explore the landscape in search of answers and (hopefully) figure out what's going on.

featuring...

  • Top-down RPG gameplay!
  • Collectible flowers!
  • Touch-friendly controls!
  • Depression!
  • Puzzle mechanics!
  • (And a fair few secrets to find..!)

Progression

Sunbeam is a mostly linear game, with added events and secrets accessible to the more curious player. The story is broken down into five primary chapters, but the length and content within each may vary depending on your choices and actions. Each run through will be a little different from the last, and it's all up to you (as the player) to work it out!


The game also lends itself well to speedrunning, so there's always an incentive to go that little bit faster!

Don't be scared. It's okay.
After all, why not be the splash of colour in a world of greyscale?
