'The Town of Light' Delayed Until Early 2016 - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 29, 2015 @ 8:26 a.m. PDT

The Town of Light is a first-person psychological horror adventure set in a former psychiatric hospital based on real events and places.

You are a 16 years old schizophrenic girl. Your mind is a mess. You are there, alone with few memories, in the darkness, with your fears and loneliness. You don't know where you are, why you are there, who you are… You ask yourself “I'm sick, imprisoned, or…?” You can only feel that you are in one of the creepiest places in the world: the place of no return.

Renèe’s voice guides you in the game and through her eyes the player will live her story, her fears and her personal drama to never forget. The player will try to recreate her personality, freely exploring the environment, finding documents, reliving her hallucinations. The player can explore thousands of square meters inside the pavilions and dozens of hectares outside, faithfully recreated in 3D to shake the conscience and to immerse the player in an environment that led him to reflect on his own mental sanity. Oculus Rift adds a new dimension to the fear!


Initially planned to release in Fall 2015, The Town of Light has been postponed to ensure the delivery of the initial team vision for the story and gameplay.

“Since The Town of Light is our first project we want to make sure to use all the time available to make all the game mechanics work perfectly. It was not an easy decision but we are sure it is the best one for the game and for the players.” said Luca Dalcò, creative director of The Town of Light.

Also from today, LKA will start release sections of Renee’s Diary through The Town of Light website and social media. “We decided to reveal Renee’s Diary before the release of the game. Renee wrote this diary to remember her normal life before getting to Volterra and the player will be able to get to know her in preparation of the game release” added Luca.

“I find myself without my skin and every breath of wind is excruciatingly painful.”

“The shadow of the past are waiting for you inside these walls, drenched with fear, distress and tears. The light that blind the mind dissolves the line between reason and madness. Are you going to find the switch of the darkness?”

Key Features:

  • Based on true story and true place: one of the biggest asylum in Europe, a place of no return.
  • No jump-scares, no monsters, no open doors with keys to find, no psychiatric institutions meant such as luna park.
  • Different ways to experience the game according to the mental illness evolution.
  • Oculus Rift support revolutionizes the game play for incredible immersive gaming experience.
