It took me over 2 years to make this game, which is definitely the biggest project I ever worked on. I would like to thank everyone who supported me during the development, all of you who played the game and shared your feedback, helped me with the music and voice over and all of you who wishlisted the game. Thank you, I literally couldn't do it without you.

Of course this is not the end, I'll keep updating and fixing the game in the following months. If you encounter any issues, let me know!

After more than two years of work, I'm super happy to announce that BrightSeeker is coming out in exactly two weeks from now!
Mark your calendars and don't forget to wishlist the game to get notified about the launch discount!

THE BETA IS CLOSED NOW, THANKS EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED!
