About the Game

Embark on a journey through the Temple of Starlight, an abstract first-person puzzle game that challenges players to harness the power of light and color to navigate through intricate levels. Uncover the non-linear story of an ancient civilization that was struck by a devastating starlight disaster, and guide the people through this crisis.

Temple of Starlight offers over 30 different puzzle levels, resulting in around 2 hours of playtime. While prioritizing quality over quantity, we strive for this to be a short, but pleasant experience.

NON-LINEAR NARRATIVE - MAKE YOUR CHOICE

Discover the story of a catastrophic event from the ancient Saasil civilization, where a natural disaster caused the stars to fade and their primary source of energy, starlight, became unattainable. Uncover the challenges and struggles faced by the civilization as they navigate through this crisis.

As the player, you will play a critical role in the story of the rulers Red, Green, and Blue as they work to overcome the starlight disaster and safeguard their people. Your choices throughout the levels will affect the progression of the story.

MIX ADDITIVE COLORS

The core gameplay of the game revolves around the manipulation of the primary colors of light - red, green, and blue. Test your additive color skills by adjusting the colors of light and experimenting with different combinations to manipulate objects and advance through the temple.

RETRO VISUAL STYLE

Experience an otherworldly atmosphere with mesmerizing colors and surreal structures. The unique visuals are elevated by a captivating, original musical score and immersive sound effects.
