THANKS, LIGHT. puzzle game set for October 2026 release

Game Source Entertainment has announced the release date for ‘THANKS, LIGHT.’, a 3D puzzle-action game developed by the South Korean indie studio Lightersgames. The title is scheduled to launch on October 15, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Steam, and Epic Games.

The game features a core mechanic where players manipulate the relationship between light and shadow to solve puzzles. By using a flashlight, players can transition objects between 2D and 3D states; illuminating a shadow can turn a flat shape into a physical platform, while absorbing light can flatten a 3D object into a 2D plane to bypass obstacles.

Set in liminal spaces ranging from marble museums to infinite office corridors, the game offers over 60 puzzle stages and an estimated playtime of more than six hours. The PlayStation 5 physical edition is currently available for pre-order at a suggested retail price of 4,378 yen. The game has previously received recognition at the INDIECRAFT festival and was selected for the Tokyo Game Show 2025 ‘Selected Indie 80’ list.
