Immerse Yourself in After Light Fades
After Light Fades, a poignant fantasy puzzle game by indie developer Orchid of Redemption, is now available on Steam for PC. Launching at $14.99 with a 10% discount during its first week, the game invites players into a magical, surreal world shaped by memory, loss, and emotional transformation.
The game unfolds across seven handcrafted puzzle worlds, featuring over 100 Sokoban-inspired challenges. Instead of relying on dialogue or cutscenes, the story is told through gameplay and environment. Every action, whether rerouting fire, growing vines, or connecting circuits, mirrors the emotional journey of the protagonist, Alice. Key mechanics reflect her process of grieving, forcing players to let go of abilities they have grown to depend on. This approach reinforces the game’s central message: true growth often demands sacrifice.
While grounded in Sokoban tradition, After Light Fades layers in imaginative mechanics involving mirrors, magnets, elemental transmutation, clones, portals, and more. These interconnected systems create puzzles where logical thinking and emotional resonance go hand in hand.
To extend the experience, the game launches with a complete level editor and Steam Workshop integration. This allows players to design and share original puzzles using the game’s unique toolkit.
After Light Fades is now available on Steam for PC, offering a quiet, introspective puzzle experience that explores the connection between loss, healing, and change.
