About

Search Light

Features
Read full description

Every light in the city has gone out. You are a child with a small lantern, walking through the dark. Free and ad-free. Nothing is locked, and no purchase gives you an advantage. SEARCH LIGHT is a wordless platformer. Run, jump, burst your light and rekindle the people who faded. Three hundred handcrafted levels. No procedural generation — every level was built by hand. More than sixty districts, each with its own rule: rising water, bridges locked to a metronome, streets that turn upside down, an ember you carry in your palm that dims as you walk. You are following the trail your mother left behind. Every memory fragment you collect reveals a line of her story. - One-touch controls, left-handed mode, adjustable button size - Gentle mode, reduced shake, high contrast - No internet needed — the story plays fully offline - Endless Night: the same daily seed for everyone on earth, daily rankings - The city's shared light: every life relit by every player, counted together - Fully localised in 11 languages The only purchase is an optional "light a lantern" tip on the main menu. Leave one if you want to say thanks; leave nothing and you miss nothing. Hatsoft — a one-person studio.
