You can grab, carry, and reposition light sources to alter the environment, opening new paths or revealing hidden dangers. Every decision matters—misplace a light, and you may need to restart. The game challenges your perception, as changing lighting can transform the reality around you. Encounters with an otherworldly entity add tension, forcing you to think quickly under pressure.
