When it debuted, it was a WiiWare exclusive, at a point in time when it stood out from the crowd like a warthog at a cat show. In retrospect, LIT had the deck stacked against it from the start. It’s a creepy, short action/puzzle game about figuring out a way to safely get Jake from point A to B. Any light instantly gets rid of the shadows, but if any part of Jake touches them, he’s instantly pulled under to his death.

You play LIT 2009 as Jake, a stereotypical “emo” kid who, for no reason that’s ever given in-game, is trapped in a version of his high school that’s been overrun by living darkness. LIT has been reincarnated, so to speak, but as an arguably worse version of itself. The currently-available version of LIT is a 2015 “reimagining” for iOS/Android that comes off like a Saturday-morning cartoon version of the 2009 game. The first LIT is a “dead” game from 2009, which went down with the ship when Nintendo closed the WiiWare shop in 2019, and which was one of the best-kept secrets on the Wii.

If you buy Wayforward’s horror action/puzzle game LIT on Steam right now, you’ll get a 2D game about using light sources to find your way through a series of darkened rooms, with an art style that makes it look like a lost episode of “Danny Phantom.” It’s alright for what it is. Centered on Gorf, the humongous verbose amphibian, players could earn up to ten new Shell shades should they satisfy his Gorf’s desires.Ĭheck out our review of Mortal Shell if you need a refresher. Released exactly one year after launch, The Virtuous Cycle “reinvented the players’ journey through Fallgrim and beyond as adversaries cycle and shuffle upon each death in this roguelike expansion.” Meanwhile, Rotten Autumn was a free addition to the base game that added a new mini-quest, ten new skins, an alternative soundtrack, and a new photo mode to Mortal Shell. And for the first time, both of Mortal Shell‘s DLC offerings in “The Virtuous Cycle” and “Rotten Autumn”, are available in one package.

Originally released way back in 2020, for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One (and eventually PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series), and fresh off an appearance as part of Nintendo’s Inside the House of Indies Holiday Event, Mortal Shell is now available on the Switch via the Nintendo eShop. The Dark Souls-inspired soulslike has had its Complete Edition sneak onto the Switch, which includes the base game, alongside its pair of DLC content. It took awhile, but Nintendo Switch users can finally enjoy Cold Symmetry’s Mortal Shell.
