Short description
You've been confined your whole life. Peering through cracks and eavesdropping passes the time, but it won't change the world. Until a foreign military threatens your home and forces you to act. Solve a cozy and fiendish detective-mystery, making logical deductions from limited perspectives.
About this game
Cracks Where the Light Gets In is a deductive-mystery game, in which you poke around the crawlspaces of an alpine shack, peering inside from every angle to find the next clue that will propel your investigation closer towards complete understanding. A novice detective, with a narrow perspective You play as an outcast seeking sanctuary, caught up in events that threaten your country. While staying unseen (this is not a stealth game), and peering through gaps (nor is this a voyeurism simulator), you must analyze every object and action for clues that will answer your questions.

While you'll grow to appreciate the history of the world and its characters, you are not here to seek answers retrospectively, nor are you detached from the events taking place. Your character will affect the events directly, incorporating the answers you've found. You'll uncover secrets about the people you're watching that even they didn't know... In turn, you'll come to learn how you fit into the world. What should you expect? Peer through tiny gaps from every available angle. The minimalist 3D setting changes with the time of day in many subtle ways, and almost all details have significance. You'll get to know every inch of this room. Realist…
