“THANKS, LIGHT." Release Date Announcement. Physical Edition Now Available for Preorders!

[Date 26th August, Hong Kong] 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 officially releasing on 15th October on PlayStation®5, Steam and Epic Games. The physical edition of THANKS, LIGHT., is now available to preorder on PlayStation®5. 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. Check out the trailer.

Game Features

Flat in shadow. Tall in light.

Shine to raise. Absorb to flatten.

A first-person puzzler for the people who still keep a portal gun, a camera, and a perspective shift bookmarked in their library.

 

Shine light to give shadow weight.

A flat square unfolds into a staircase. A fragile outline turns into a towering pillar. Light grants mass, collision, gravity — and once it's solid, you climb it, push it, drop it.

 

Absorb light to switch Physics off.

A rolling ball lies still. A wall becomes a doorway. Mass vanishes — and what blocked you now lets you through.

 

The mechanic keeps growing.

Mirrors duplicate. Lenses resize. Merging fuses two forms into a new one.

Three chapters deep. Five mechanics that learn to talk to each other.

The deeper you go, the more the rules combine.

Built to escalate — never just adding, always recombining.

 

Spanning 3 chapters with over 60 uniquely designed stages, the game offers more than 6 hours of immersive gameplay packed with escalating challenges. 

 

A world that watches you solve it.

An unnamed Administrator built this place to be flawless. A marble museum gives way to an office that repeats one hallway too many times, and finally to a black-and-white space where memory leaks through the walls. The architecture is your second puzzle — read it carefully.

 

Watch out for the beings hiding in the shadows...

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.
