When the nightlight goes out, the nightmares come out.

Noé, 7, is sleeping alone for the first time in his new house. At 3:12 a.m. his moon-shaped nightlight flickers and dies, and his fears drag him deep into a dream. You play Lumi, the tiny flame that lived in the nightlight. Dive five layers down, shoot sparks at bad dreams, and bring Noé back before dawn.

YOUR LIGHT IS YOUR LIFE

Your health is the radius of light around Lumi. At full health you can see the whole room. Take a few hits and the darkness closes in. No health bar needed: you feel it.

DREAM / NIGHTMARE

Noé breathes. Every 25 seconds the world flips into Nightmare for 8 seconds: colors invert, enemies speed up, loot doubles. Run for cover, or cash in?
