Your friend’s mysterious disappearance results in the discovery of an unusual item, leading you to embark on a journey through time and memory. In this narrative puzzle adventure by PostCurious and Jack Fallows, an intimate coming-of-age story is told through an object that serves as a tarot deck, a puzzle game, and a work of art. You will need to manipulate cards, find hidden messages, and solve logic and word problems in order to uncover the deck’s secrets. Packed with gorgeous illustrations, resonant storytelling, and unique puzzles, The Light in the Mist can be played solo or cooperatively in a small group. It’s non-linear structure and varied puzzle difficulty will engage players of all experience levels with over five hours of gameplay. Do you have what it takes to overcome the challenges thrown your way without getting lost in the mist?

We've played several card type of tabletop games by now and this is definitely our favorite. The stunning artwork, smooth game flow, clever puzzle and unique storyline really made this game unlike any other we've experienced before. Since you're able to pick different routes, you might want to replay this game to see what you've missed the first time. It was like watching a movie with alternative endings. I have to know all of them! I would totally watch a great movie over and over again, wouldn't you?

There is a really good reason PostCurious and Light in the Mist are so well known for their puzzle games. Sometimes the pressure of expectation can make a game fall flat, but somehow Light in the Mist avoids that and still pulls itself off as a perfectly well-rounded, beautiful and thoughtful experience.

The Light in the Mist is a phenomenal game and melds medium, narrative, and puzzle play into an experience that is greater than the sum of its parts.
