User Reviews
- The atmosphere in The Strange Lights is incredible. The way the forest looks at night with those eerie lights in the sky really kept me on edge the whole time.
- A short but very impactful horror game. It doesn't rely on cheap scares; it's all about the mood and the mystery. Definitely worth playing for horror fans.
- Technically impressive for an indie title. The lighting effects are some of the best I've seen in a walking simulator style game.
- I loved the mystery. Not knowing exactly what the lights were until the end made the exploration feel very rewarding and terrifying.
- Very polished experience. The sound of the wind through the trees and the humming of the lights creates a perfect horror vibe.
