Bishop Games, a Canadian indie games studio, today announced that their 2D immersive platformer Light Fall will be available for Windows PC, Mac, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One in March 2018. Explore the forgotten world of Numbra using the Shadow Core, a magical box beneath your feet, to help maneuver your way across the land and brave the many challenges and foes standing in your way. Light Fall redefines the platformer genre with the Shadow Core’s innovative game mechanic to deliver a fresh and exciting experience to players.
In Light Fall, players enter a strange universe where darkness prevails over light, to embark on a quest to uncover a mysterious past and save the inhabitants of this forgotten world. With Stryx the Night Owl as your companion and narrator, players can leverage the powerful Shadow Core, which can be summoned at anytime, as a platform to jump on or wall hop off of, adding a unique twist to the traditional platformer game. As players wander through the calm night of the Lunar Plain, venture into the Marshlands of Sorrow and face the exotic wildlife of the Vipera’s Forest, they will also encounter many outlandish characters, be it friends or foe. Do you have what it takes to survive in perilous Numbra?
“Light Fall is the first title that Bishop Games is releasing so we wanted to ensure that the game really stands out from other traditional 2D platformers,” said David Dion-Paquet, Co-founder and President of Bishop Games. “The idea behind Light Fall was to make a platformer where you can control your own platform. This allows players to be creative about how they traverse through the game and provides them with a truly unique gameplay experience.”
