Read the threat
Light, cover, sound, and escape routes tell you what a room can become before you commit to it.
In development
Little Lights
Keep moving.
A story-first dark-fantasy horror action RPG about a group of children crossing a kingdom overtaken by a living, coordinated force. Read the room. Control the noise. Hold onto one another. Fight only when it buys a way through.
The premise
Asterfall is falling.
Something pale and root-like is moving beneath familiar streets, reshaping homes, roads, and places of refuge.
The children do not begin as heroes. They begin frightened, underprepared, and determined to keep one another moving. Capability is earned slowly, danger remains credible, and every stretch of quiet has weight because the road before it did not.
Enter the worldDesign pillars
Vulnerability with a way forward.
Horror stays readable, choices stay consequential, and cooperation is more than extra damage.
Choose the response
Sneak, distract, fight, retreat, or hold close. Survival begins with the decision, not the damage number.
Manage Fear
Pressure has readable causes, visible consequences, and recovery that depends on space, safety, and support.
Grow through action
Each child develops within three authored schools, deepening a distinct identity through successful use.
Protect the group
Keeping the group together and supporting one another are core design goals. The strongest answer is often the one that gets everyone through.
Earn relief
A shut door, a quiet room, and a few steady breaths become meaningful rewards after sustained danger.
The survival loop
Look first. Move second.
Every encounter asks the group to understand a space before it asks them to overcome it.
