Developer Embers has announced the release of their immersive action-adventure game, Strayed Lights, available for $24.99 on the title’s official website, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GoG. In Strayed Lights, players assume the role of a tiny, growing light on a quest for transcendence, confronting daunting creatures both internally and externally. The game’s official 120-page digital art book and soundtrack, composed by Grammy award-nominated Austin Wintory, are also available for purchase, with a 15% discount on the bundled Deluxe Edition.
Strayed Lights features a combat system that requires players to shift between colored states of being in order to parry enemy attacks and absorb their opponent’s energy for high-damage strikes when timed correctly. Mastery of the game’s combat flow is essential to calm colossal beings gone rogue and purify them of emotional torment. The game’s world is hauntingly beautiful, filled with shimmering fauna and mysterious ruins. A gripping non-dialogue based narrative, unique hand-painted-like art direction, and contemplative soundtrack composed by Grammy award-winning artist Austin Wintory complete this deeply evocative experience.
Alexandre Arramon, co-founder and creative director at Embers, expressed delight for action-adventure fans to begin their journeys through Strayed Lights’ enchanting and kinetic realm. He also invited players to explore Strayed Lights’ meticulously crafted universe by supporting their debut title across modern platforms and diving deeper through the game’s premium artbook and mesmerizing soundtrack by Austin Wintory.
Key features of Strayed Lights include an innovative and challenging combat system, an array of creatures representing inner demons to be faced and soothed, character progression through unlocking abilities and working towards awakening, and a dreamlike world filled with forests, misty valleys, broken cities, and dark caves. Players can also search for ancient relics to reveal the history of these lands while enjoying an ambitious soundtrack by Austin Wintory.
