To The Light Reviews

At the beginning I did like this one although I was surprised to see that the character doesnt talk much when interacting with items and more times than not just has a exclaimation point or question mark over her head. I would like to actually be able to play this game for once. When I got to a sort of boss my game froze up and crashed so I have to attempt to play it at a different date. I will change my rating if it will actually let me play it.

This was actually a pretty decent game. I had quit it a while back because of frustrations but I came back to it and used a guide whenever I got stuck. It's an RPGMaker game so it still has its issues, such as sprites being registered as on a tile before its walking animation is done. I'm conflicted because there's both a lot and nothing to say about this game. It's a confusing game to write about because back when I first bought it, I initially saw it as a very lazy rpgmaker game but it's got a lot more effort put into it. For the most part, this game is pretty easy. It's a puzzle game, so there's some kind of forethought that goes into exploring each area but at the same time there's this sense of a "cloudy mind", so-to-speak, because of the fact that there's no dialogue at all, so you're really just running around exploring (*if you're not using a guide*) without an idea of what's going on. I was very confused for the majority of the game until I just gave up trying to understand it and focused on beating the game. That's not to say that there's no story, it's just that it's hidden behind 9 pieces of a 'memory' you have to find for the best ending and the game isn't friendly on health earlier on, although I don't agree with other reviews that say you can get 'stuck' in general, there's only a few areas you can get stuck in. I guess, in my opinion, I had this issue with the story in that there was no dialogue and up until I got the good ending, it was just a mish-mash of random assets and weird secrets here and there. It's a weird feeling to explain because I did end up getting the gist of what the story was and it was a pleasantly nice game overall but I was just so confused throughout all of it *up until the end* and even then the ending is just sort of... okay? Sort of like if Mass Effect 3 instead ended with the game putting you onto your ship to 'explore' but you couldn't go out and do anymore missions, just sort of explore the ship and get a few lines of post-game dialogue. Music was actually really good, and the CGs/art was pretty great as well. One thing I can personally add is that it uses GL script and I had severe lag issues when playing, which only really was fixed by either random luck or restarting the game/pressing F5. It frustrated me a lot and I barely pushed through to the end. I believe it was the cause of the game because it would mostly only occur and stick around when entering screens with a lot going on, or loading a game in general. My assumption is that everything is being loaded but the memory or whatever isn't being cleared until the game is restarted. Anyways, buy it if you like puzzle games. The price is a bit much, though. Get it on a good sale.

This game could have been much better if it did not give conflicting information to the player. For example some enemies you could hit, while others you can't and you get hurt when you attack them. There is no indication that could help you identify this, so you have to experiment and lose lifes and restart or load again. Another example is that some rocks could hurt you when you try to push them or hit them, while others don't. Again how would the player know? many other example exists but I think these two gives a clear idea. The story is not very understoodable. The game has multiple endings and after you defeat the boss you get to a room where - the game ends -. There is no indication that you could escape and move to a different ending. Other than that I liked the music and variety. I hate to not recommending this game specially after experiencing it. The developers obviously worked on it very hard.

Overall a good puzzle type game. A little better with the nude patch, but not needed. Everything is easy enough to unlock as long as you check everything, even the walls.

I won't lie, I had low expectations for this game, which is definitely why I liked it so much. For being a basic, standard, cookie-cutter, RPGMaker game, it's the best at being just that to me. Don't expect perfection or insightful gameplay if you're interested in it, it'll only dissapoint you. Also the nude patch is pretty swanky.

I've played a lot of RPG's made with RPG maker and made many personal projects. However I cannot recommend this game to anyone. Firstly, you cannot get 100% achievement without modifying a map to get the sales achievement. Secondly, it is buggy on other achievements Thirdly, there is no explaination as to what you can do. Sometimes you can kill a monster, then see the same monster sprite on another map and you will die from it without harming it. Item descriptions are just icons, and there is no real explaination of what you are trying to accomplish and how to progress through the mazes. I don't paticularly enjoy games where you brutalise the enter key on the hopes of striking an event. Artwork however was not too risque, but well drawn. If you do intend to play this game, make use of every save slot so that you can recover from bugs or bad design decisions in the event of getting stuck.

A puzzle adventure with a simple story told in short scenes and pictures rather than words. Is this RPG Maker game worth checking out? As an unnamed anime protagonist you walk through a park, and then - bam! What is this place and how do I get out? This is where your task really starts. Lots of rooms, lots of puzzles, some enemies and some fighting. It is relatively uncommon type of game among RPG Maker titles I had a chance to see/play. The main theme present here is sci-fi but some fantasy elements can be found too. Story, due to the way it is presented, can be rather vague and hard to figure out. Not a standard style of storytelling but if you like 'silent' comics then you might feel right at home. Some reviews complain about difficulty or lack of guidance, but since you can save anywhere, game overs are not very punishing and I found majority of puzzles easy to solve. While there is little to no handholding, and you need to figure things out on your own, not once was I really stuck and managed to get 100% in the end after playing just once. Maybe it's my long RPG gaming experience that made it relatively easy (and I love puzzles too) and more casual players will struggle more but I like this type of challenge so no complaints from me on this front. There are also RPG elements like health upgrade, equipment/costumes expanding abilities and standard items like health potions and gold. Some items are required to make progress some are there to make your adventure easier. You can also find collectibles behind some puzzles that can change your ending. To achieve the 'perfect ending' you need those. Despite it being a budget indie title I sure enjoyed it. Balanced challenge, interesting puzzle/rpg mix and good length are what convinced me to give it a positive despite several flaws. Ah, yes, flaws... but before that, I want to mention art and music. I liked the character sprites and CGs but it is only a little bit above average and there is not much variety (e.g. same poses). If you're looking for hentai look elsewhere. All you get here are some ecchi pics and not very detailed either. Still, considering the budget I'm happy enough. Music is ok. Mix of genres can be heard but nothing memorable. Tracks are rather generic and serve only as background fillers. As expected from cheap indie. Nothing grating at least. Now to mention flaws. There are several. Game crashed a few times. Menus are bugged and items in your bag become invisible. You can still use them but since you can't even see item descriptions it is somewhat annoying. I had to restart game maaaany times to eliminate this problem. Achievements are not working. Music goes silent after loading until you change a room. A lot of reasons to get frustrated here. Overall, despite multiple bugs and generic assets and music, it is still an enjoyable indie game. The mix of different genres present here is rather unusual among RPG Maker games. This novelty combined with the low price convinced me to give a positive rating: 5.7/10

The game would be playable, if it weren't for certain quests that if you happen to miss an item out of order-a key, for instance-you're forever stuck at that point and have to start an entirely new game. Oh, and my save data got erased twice. Once after my computer updated (what files get erased after a simple update anyways?) and once for no reason, making the total amount of times I had to start over at four. And it's not like it was only one file gone, either. Both times the data was lost, it was ALL save files, not just the one I played last. Thank goodness I got the game on sale, but I wish I could get my four bucks back.

-It says that it's translated into 27 languages - what do you think if this true (no) -The same model of the girl copied over and over and over again in different dresses makes me think that they simply spent all their budget on a *Nude patch* -The game halts and freezes every now and then, controls are bad and as a game, this is below average as well. +There is one big plus - the game was on discount and very cheap, now it's not and cards cost 4 times more than the game was. +It has nice steam emotes and rare background with bewbs

This game is surprisingly well put together so far. I love the music and art, and the fact that while this is "horror" it's mainly puzzle-based horror instead of jump scare horror. However, it is possible to get into "stuck" states in this game currently, so make sure to backup your saves regularly. For instance, if you go south after the wrap point after the first boss fight, you'll end up in a cold area with no clear way out, and it's possible to go there before grabbing the coat from the chest. Also, there's a room you can get to in the B zone (east of the room with the yellow crystal) with a treasure chest just past a tricky to avoid monster, but upon leaving that room you're instantly assaulted by a goblin with no way to get back to the regular area without dying.
