Residual Light

Residual Light is a slow-burn psychological horror game set in a fractured world where reality cannot be trusted, places feel familiar without explanation, and rest is never truly safe.

You play as Naomi, stranded on an empty road, searching for somewhere to stop, just for the night. But the world around her behaves strangely. Paths appear where none existed. Sounds repeat. Spaces feel remembered rather than discovered.
As she explores abandoned environments and fragmented spaces, moments of clarity become rare. The only relief comes from sitting… resting… letting everything go quiet… before continuing again.

But something is wrong with her perception.
Something is missing.
And something is waiting to be understood.
