'The Town of Light' Also Coming to Xbox One

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!

“We are really excited to start working with Microsoft in bringing Renee’s story to the Xbox audience. Thanks to the amazing support id@XBOX is giving to us since we enrolled in the program we already working to deliver the best possible experience” said Luca Dalco, creative director of LKA.

“The Town of Light impressed us with the incredible research made to create such a realistic experience and strong narrative. We are really looking forward to bring the game on our platform and extend the offer id@Xbox have available this year” added Agostino Simonetta, id@XBOX regional lead – EMEA.

“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.
