The Town of Light is a first-person, psychological story-driven adventure game set in the Volterra Psychiatric Asylum – a former mental treatment facility based in Tuscany, Italy. The asylum was shut down in the late 1970s due to an Italian law that instructed all asylums to close completely and give back patients their civil rights.

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!

Wired Productions has signed a worldwide publishing agreement with Italian developer LKA.it to bring an updated version of the psychological adventure The Town of Light to consoles and PC.

Offering fresh, story-supporting content and a myriad of enhancements to its original release, The Town of Light will make its retail debut on the PS4 and Xbox One in Q2 2017, alongside an improved PC version.

An enhanced edition of the original, this new release of The Town of Light will offer new puzzles, additional story elements, reworked voiceover dialogue, more interactive elements and a huge graphical and UI overhaul that aims to deliver a more polished and immersive experience.

“Thanks to their passion for the game and Renee’s story, we are immensely proud to bring The Town of Light to console audiences together with Wired Productions,” said Luca Dalcò, Creative Director at LKA.it. “It has been a long journey and our experience developing the PC version allowed us to learn a lot. Those learnings and the warm community feedback were instrumental in creating the enhanced version of the game we are developing.”

“We followed the progress of The Town of Light since its first showcase in 2014, and we are really excited to work with Luca and his team to bring this very special experience to console,” added Leo Zullo, Managing Director at Wired Productions. “The merging of real events and places with a powerful and an often uncomfortable storyline makes for a compelling combination.”

“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?”
