Fear of the Light is a stealth-based survival horror game where light is scarier than darkness and where surveying monsters keep you on edge. You’re the lone survivor on a spaceship infested by moths and other dangerous creatures. Explore the ship, override quarantine lockdowns, and find a way to escape. Use your radar and other tools to avoid enemies, keep out of the light, sneak around dangers, and find your way forward. But be careful, monsters are lurking around, searching for you, and are aware of your every mistake!
