The Town of Light is a psychological thriller that explores the mind of protagonist Renèe. The player must traverse the Volterra Psychiatric Asylum in the present day, that she was admitted to when she was 16 years old. As Renèe walks around the abandoned rooms, she remembers events that occurred within her past, what the doctors did to her, and why she was admitted in the first place.
The second limited edition from the Black Label collection made in collaboration with Limited Run Games was revealed today for The Town of Light.
Video games publisher, Wired Productions, today released the Wired Horror Bundle on PC (via Steam), PlayStation 4 (via PSN) and Xbox One (via the Microsoft store), featuring the critically acclaimed "Those Who Remain", "Close to The Sun" and "The Town of Light".
Wired Productions and LKA team up once again to bring the emotional journey of Renee to the Nintendo Switch for the small amount of £7.99 with part of the proceeds going to mental health charity Safe in our World.
This game is not "fun" in a traditional sense but it is worth playing if you haven't. Really raw look at mental illness and how it is treated.
This is is not a game for kids for sure, but the game is overall great, not because of gameplay but because of atmosphere, the place this was based on was shut down after a long time of operation and closed shortly after I was born which is crazy to think about. It’s also based on drawings and messages from a real patient. Definitely a must play if you enjoy psychological games based in reality. You can see real images of the shambles it’s in now, wheelchairs broken down lying in the dirt in the wooded area it was located in. Chilling.
Absolutely amazing looking game. Crazy how much effort they put into making the asylum.
Walking around an insane asylum during the day in a game? Madness, utter madness. Great review Gabs
I love all these psychological horror games - I cannot cope with them!
Was lucky enough to play this at EGX. Really creepy but needs slightly better direction. Still, real potential.
Looks great, good review
