WayForward keeps haunting Til Morning's Light with Amazon
WayForward ain't afraid of no ghost, but that's primarily because it's got Amazon Game Studios backing it up making Til Morning's Light, a new haunted-house game. Built specifically for Amazon's Fire Phone, it follows the flashlight-wielding Erica Page as she wanders around a cursed New England estate solving puzzles and fighting off specters. Think of it as an Are You Afraid of the Dark? teen-friendly spin on Alone in the Dark, but not from the '90s.
WayForward is best known for its two-dimensional action games like Shantae and Mighty Switch Force, but Til Morning's Light actually marks a return to the studio's earlier experiment in young adult horror. LIT, an early WiiWare title from the studio, trapped a high school student in haunted classrooms and forced him to use a flashlight to escape. Devious light-based puzzles were the name of the game in LIT. Til Morning's Light, meanwhile, uses Fire Phone's "Dynamic Perspective."
WayForward and Amazon say the game will be out "soon." In the meantime, there are actually audio blog entries from lead character Erica available on Audible.
