Theme
Below the Light explores “Loop” through both its gameplay and narrative. Players fight through waves of enemies and bosses in a mysterious location, then enter an elevator hoping to escape—only to return to where they began. Each completed loop makes the enemies stronger, while the player’s remaining health, ammunition, and flashlight energy carry over, making every survival decision matter in the next cycle.

Limitations
Lightfall: Darkness gives the player an advantage. When a generator activates, the lights come on and enemies become tougher, faster, and more dangerous. Players must locate and destroy the generator to restore darkness and weaken their enemies. Shared Experience: The game draws on our team’s fears of darkness, unseen threats, and being pursued. These fears take shape through dark environments, enemies approaching from every direction, and a seemingly inescapable loop. Human Generated Artwork: Our team’s visual design and artwork are human-created. We do not use AI-generated imagery in the game.
