  THANKS, LIGHT. — Demo Update

  THANKS, LIGHT. — Demo Update It's been a while, everyone! While we've been holed up in our small dark room, hiding from the sun and grinding away, has the world been doing alright out there? A game with the same gimmick as ours didn't drop while we were gone, did it? (Just imagining it gives us chills.) We've done a HUGE amount of work this whole time, but since most of it went into the later chapters, the demo only gets this slice of the patch notes! Honestly, we did so much that this is just what we managed to dig out of our memory. We also fixed, tweaked, and polished a ton of other little things. 🌐 Localization The game now supports a whopping 21 languages! (With a little help from AI.) 🎮 Controls / Quality of Life Expanded gamepad options — sensitivity settings, more stable key remapping Revamped rotation logic — smoother to use, with more ways to rotate New interaction UI that reflects flashlight range Story skip feature added 🖥️ Graphics / Video Various new graphical elements New video options Upscaling options added (TSR + Screen Percentage) - DLSS and FSR are planned for a later update A tiny bit of optimization (really, just a tiny bit) 🔊 Sound SFX and BGM improvements across the board 🌸 Content We've hidden even more flowers! You can now see your collection progress on the stage list Character dialogue translations and revisions 🛠️ Bug Fixes Fixed button solution detection and a number of other small bugs It's been a long time since our last update, so even one more player picking the demo up means a lot to us. After playing, please share your thoughts with us through Steam reviews or our Discord! Praise, complaints, bug reports — all welcome. We also have some events coming up — we'd love to see you there! May 22–24 — BitSummit 2026 (Miyako Messe, Kyoto) on-site booth May 28 – June 4 — Cerebral Puzzle Showcase on Steam If you swing by our booth in person, we'll be over the moon. Oh, and one more thing! Our game launches in September, but if you're too cu...

  'THANKS, LIGHT.' Coming to PlayStation®5 and Steam this September!

  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. Every shape has a truth behind its face——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.. 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.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.THANKS, LIGHT.
