Light Fall releasing on Switch in March 2018

Light Fall is in development for Switch, Bishop Games announced today. The 2D platformer will be available in March 2018. Those who are attending the Tokyo Game Show this week can try out the first playable build in the Indie Game Area.

Here’s the premise of Light Fall:

In Light Fall, overcome platformer-based challenges by harnessing the power of the Shadow Core, a magical box beneath your feet that can be summoned at any time to propel yourself in the air. With Stryx the Night Owl as your companion and narrator, explore the forgotten world of Numbra where darkness prevails over light to embark on a quest to save its inhabitants and uncover a mysterious past. As you 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, there you’ll encounter many outlandish characters, be it friends or foe. Do you have what it takes to survive?

We have a rundown of Light Fall’s main features below. You can also find the first trailer attached.

The Ultimate Freedom: Control the Shadow Core, a magical box beneath your feet that can be used and controlled at will, to propel yourself into the air and move across the land at your own pace. With the Shadow Core, you become the master of your surroundings and create your own path.

An Immersive Journey: Immerse yourself in Light Fall’s strange universe where darkness prevails over the light. Joining you in this adventure, Stryx the old and grumpy owl, will act as your sidekick and in-game narrator. Depending on his mood, he will either offer useful advice or bluntly mock your failures.

Wander through the Lunar Plain, the Marshlands of Sorrows, the Vipera’s Forest and the Unknown Depths, where shortcuts, alternative paths, hidden collectibles and easter eggs await you in large numbers.
