One Upon Light Inspiration:

SUTD game designer, Justin Kang, took inspiration from his regular late night runs, using the shadows cast by street lights as his goal markers. Kang declares: “I felt that I was always ‘chasing shadows,’ so to speak, and got to thinking about how my environment and my perception of it would change if these shadows could be manipulated.” It was this initial lightbulb-over-the-head idea that sparked the birth of the game.

In order to shed some light on the game’s captivating premise, Rising Star Games has just released an illuminating new trailer:
