About this game
Light Bearers 2 is a fast paced game that pits an evil Shadow against a party of clumsy, goofy Light Bears.
The Light Bears try to evade corruption, surviving until the Pool of Light appears and they can escape. A bear that gets tagged, can still be saved during their transition phase. If they are not, that bear joins the Shadow in their hunt of the Light Bears!
Better and Bigger

Sporting the world's best hide and seek movement mechanics, Light Bearers 2 has raised the skill floor so that anyone can jump in and become a parkour master!
After 7 years of lessons learned, each Shadow has been remastered to best support their design and fun factor.
New Shadows added.
New maps with unique mechanics to spice up your Friday nights.
Many Light Bearers 1 maps returning with modifications and updates.
New Body system, each body now gives you unique abilities as a Light and Shadow bear.
Reworked mechanics that offer hiders much more freedom.

Same Fat Bomb Humor
The game is still goofy, punny, silly, dumb and slightly offensive.
If you've played our other games, you know what to expect!
Replayability
Light Bearers 2 introduces a new system called Chaos Infusions to make every round feel special.
Between the Chaos Infusion system, body abilities, familiars, remastered and new shadows, new and returning maps, there is a ton of replay-ability value to keep you engaged for as long as you need.

Halloween Update
Happy Halloween week everyone! We're bringing 3 Awesome Infusions for this update! Amalgamation (The Shadow now receives a random Shadow's Ultimate). You have not lived until you've faced a G'nome using Oculus's laser. We may expand this later to not replace the current ultimate but instead have a new key to press. It really depends on the popularity. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45038725/717d628ad9f37a356fded979123d5166ecbc4d5c.png Pumpkin Smash (Pumpkins spawn around the map, jumping on one awards your points, stealth and will petrify nearby enemies!) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45038725/72d47f0fe743ebf6672d89e1f45dd6bdfd1c4f65.png Racers (Rings spawn around the map, run through them for points!) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45038725/ee27acb4e151908c75a86613f1daece83db706ec.png Legacy Mode Changes Our goal with Legacy was to have a familiar experience for LB1 players when coming to LB2's fast paced environment. I've continued to work with LB1 veterans to see what was missing and I think it's now in a very good position. Please, if you feel something is wrong or missing, let me know. Despite my best efforts, my psychic training has not paid off and I am not thousands in debt. Legacy Mode renamed to Light Bearers 1 Mode. Legacy Mode now has the same wall jumping detection as LB1. Fixed an issue with Legacy Mode where the Bears were a little faster than they should be. Fixed crouch walk speed in Legacy Mode. Made lots of little adjustments to try and match LB1's movement feel. The Shadow can no longer use G to teleport to Shadow Portals, thus cementing the full LB1 experience. Map Ports We hear you, you missed both of these maps. Some of you have some choice words to say about the new Nowhere. So I present to you the old Nowhere that is now the new old Nowhere known as Somewhere! Somewhere I kept it as 1:1 as I could. The object I was using for the "strings" on the photographs were tanking framerates on my 3080ti by like 80 fps. So i scrapped those. I also added some couches in random spots.
