My Light In The Dark
A downloadable game for Windows
My Light In The Dark is a short story about a girl who lives with her abusive mother. The girl finds out some dark secrets about her mother, and she has to find a way to escape the house.
During the game, the player has to search for clues and keys to advance the story. You can find objects that will appear in the slots on the bottom of the screen, and when used correctly they will turn grey. Important objects are marked with color throughout the maps. Controls are easiest with a keyboard, or with a mouse if you prefer.
The game was made within 2 weeks as a submission to IGMC 2017, ranked #15 on Judge's Choice, and #17 on People's Choice out of 223 entries. After the contest, the game was updated with some changes to the ending and dialogue. This is a simple representation of what I can do in a short time from start to finish.

HEY thank you! this game was really awesome!!
Interesting little game, I quite enjoyed it!
Thank you!
Amazing beginning to end. I accidently skipped the dialog once or twice because clicking is to move, but other than that this was such a great game.
Thank you! Btw you can also move with wasd!
good game.
Although I didn't like how the dialog "mechanic" works in this one in - its not just showing you the full text while pressing spacebar, but rather speeds it up, skipping dialog bubbles non intentionally.
This was really good and i could tell you put a lot of love into the making of this game! The story music and overall feel of it came together really really well and i enjoyed every moment of it! Here's my playthrough if you wanna see.
