**A solo-developed top-down horror experience where everything revolves around light:** 
your torch runs on a limited battery, with each monster reacting to something different.

You are **Jeff**, the night keeper at _**Meridian Logistics, Depot 7**._

You were still deep inside the warehouse when the building locked down for the weekend. Everyone went home. Nobody knew you were still there.

The power suddenly dies, and you discover the wharehouse is haunted.

## Survive the Blackout

In **TURN THE LIGHTS ON**, survival is not just about running away. It is about understanding the environment and making decisions under pressure.

When the lights are on, you explore the warehouse, learn its layout, and prepare your next move.
When the power fails, your vision collapses. You have only a flashlight, your memory, and the sounds around you.

Every blackout becomes a test:

- Do you remember the safest route?
- Did you notice where the danger was waiting?
- Did you save enough flashlight battery?
- Can you stay calm when something starts moving nearby?
-

## Every Monster Has a Rule

The creatures inside the warehouse are not random jump scares. Each one follows a different rule, and survival comes from learning how they behave.
For instance,

**The Drifter**
Moves only in darkness and freezes when exposed to light.

**The Listener**
Cannot see, but follows the sounds you make.

**The Watcher**
Moves when you stop watching it.

**The Moth**
Is attracted to your flashlight and turns your greatest tool into a risk.

More threats appear as you progress deeper into the building, until every rule overlaps and the warehouse becomes a fight for survival.

## Light Is a Resource

Your flashlight is not unlimited.

You must decide when to use it, when to save it, and when to risk moving through the dark.

The warehouse itself becomes part of the challenge:

- Restore generators to extend safe light periods.
- Search for the master keycard.
- Navigate changing blackout conditions.
- Use sound, memory, and strategy to stay alive.

---

## A Procedural Horror Experience

Each section of the warehouse is built as a dangerous puzzle box.
The game features:

- A 10-section campaign
- Procedural layouts
- Tactical monster encounters
- Dynamic lighting and visibility
- Multiple survival tools
- Controller support
- Story sequences between sections

Every run is about learning the building, and learning how to survive inside it.

## Can You Escape Before Monday?

Restore the power. Find the keycard. Reach the exit, before the warehouse takes you.
