Thanks, Light. News

[p][/p][p]Game Source Entertainment (GSE) is pleased to announce that THANKS, LIGHT., a 3D portal-like puzzle-platformer developed by South Korean indie studio Lightersgames, is scheduled for official release on PlayStation®5 and Steam in September 2026. The free demo version is now available on Steam, offering a first look at the mechanic in action, with wishlisting now open ahead of this year's launch. The game's central concept is a spatial manipulation of shadow and substance: players wield a flashlight to shift objects between 2D and 3D states, start your adventure by solving puzzles with your imaginations in the Liminal Space. [/p][p][/p][p]THANKS, LIGHT. marks the debut release from South Korean indie studio Lightersgames. Positioned squarely alongside first-person puzzle-platformers like Portal, Superliminal, Viewfinder, and The Talos Principle, the game introduces a deceptively simple mechanical premise: Under illumination, a silhouette transforms into a tangible 3D object. When the light is absorbed, 3D objects are folded seamlessly back into a flat, two-dimensional form. There are no lengthy tutorials here. Instead, you must rely on observation and reasoning, approaching problems from different angles and experimenting with various possibilities to discover. Immerse yourselves into the puzzle-solving experience and master your own game rules in the world of THANKS, LIGHT.. 
[/p][p]The game has received honours twice at Korea's indie game event, INDIECRAFT. It also earned a spot in the prestigious "Selected Indie 80" showcase at Tokyo Game Show 2025.[/p][p][/p][p]A free demo is now available on Steam, offering you a first glimpse into a world built for perfection. Here, light, shadow, dimension, and perception intertwine, hinting at deeper truths waiting to be uncovered.[/p][p][/p][p]THANKS, LIGHT.

Hello from Lightersgames.

Yes… it’s been a while. We’ve been grinding for a month straight 😭
Big rebuild today: new options, presentation, subtitles/localization—pretty much everything got touched. Please play and tell us what you think!


\[] Massive UI revamp – cleaner menus, better readability.
\[] Comfort Mode – tweaks aimed at reducing 3D motion sickness.
\[] Gamma slider – for anyone who felt the game was too bright.
\[] V-Sync toggle – reduce screen tearing.
\[] Lots of new options – tune it your way.
\[] Story & presentation update – more natural, clearer delivery.
\[] New subtitle system – improved sync & stability.
\[] Localization pass – KO/EN polished (more languages coming).
\[] Early levels tweaked – smoother flow & difficulty curve.
\[] SFX overhaul (ongoing) – some volume balance may still be off—thanks for your patience!

[/p][h3]Details[/h3][p]UI / Options
Check the new layout under ESC → Options.
Comfort Mode bundles settings that reduce camera shake/acceleration, etc. Adjust to taste.
Gamma, V-Sync, plus many graphics/audio/gameplay toggles added.

Cutscene timing, environmental reactions, and audio cues reworked to convey info more naturally.

Subtitles & Localization
New subtitle backend for better stability/readability.
Full pass on Korean/English (fixed mistranslations/garbling). More languages soon.

[p]Hello from Lightersgames,[/p][p]We’ve just discovered that the reset buttons in certain stages aren’t responding in the current demo build.[/p][p][/p][h3]Temporary workaround[/h3][p]Press ESC → Reset Stage in the pause menu to reload the stage and continue playing.[/p][p][/p][p]So... What happened?
We’re in the middle of overhauling our level-reset and save system, and some button logic wasn’t hooked into the new architecture. We honestly didn’t realize this would break those buttons—sorry about that! A quick hotfix isn’t possible until the system swap is finished.[/p][p][/p][h3]Planned fix[/h3][p]Once the new reset system is fully integrated we’ll do a sweep of every stage and push a patch in early July (exact date TBA).[/p][p]We’re sorry for the inconvenience. Your reports speed up our work, so please keep the feedback coming. We’ll bring you a more stable build soon![/p][p][/p][p]Lightersgames,[/p][p]Our sincere apologies!!![/p]
