Every shape hides a truth behind its appearance.

「THANKS, LIGHT.」 is a first-person puzzle adventure game where geometry, physics, and optical illusions collide.

Observe the world through light, manipulate dimensions, and reveal the true form of what you see.

When light shines, dimensions awaken.

When illuminated, objects reveal their hidden 3D shape, have weight and collision detection, and exist in the real world.

Simple squares unfold into steps, and thin silhouettes become giant columns.

Solve puzzles that utilize spatial awareness, turning, and hidden structures through this mechanic.

What matters is not what you see, but what the light illuminates.

Make the space still.

When an object absorbs light, it loses volume and mass, becoming fixed in a flat, 2D state.

The rolling ball stops, and the cube that was blocking the way is able to pass through the gap.

This ability is key to a variety of puzzles, including controlling movement, stopping time, and navigating tight spaces.

Geometry with physics turned off — that's the mechanic.

Duplicate, resize and combine.

This world is not fixed.

Duplicate objects through mirrors and resize them through lenses.

You can grow keys to open distant doors, and you can also make shapes smaller to fit into holes.

It is also possible to merge two shapes into one to create entirely new functions.

The puzzles become more complex as all of these elements are mixed together, requiring creative solutions.

A world designed for perfection… but something went wrong.

At first, it follows the structure of a perfectly planned system: orderly spaces designed by a being called a manager.

But soon, something appears that doesn't belong in the system.

The puzzle becomes unstable and the structure slowly falls apart.

You're not simply solving puzzles, you're following a story about control, resistance, and existence.

Inspired by backrooms, brutalist architecture and psychological tension, this world quietly reveals the truth.

And the truth is only visible when you pay attention.
