A Light in the Darkness
I know what it’s like to feel down on New Year’s Day, so I made a (very) short Visual Novel about appreciating what we have, and the power of gratitude in overcoming dark thoughts. The game is a conversation with your "Inner Light", and talks about how to see the good in your life (regardless of the darkness!).
A Light in the Darkness was made in 2 days, and it's just something that I felt I wanted to make this weekend. It’s my first time writing something like this, and it’s very, very simple, but I hope someone finds it at least a little bit uplifting. And, of course, I wish everyone a fantastic 2018! =D

This game is really sweet, I thoroughly enjoyed my admittedly short time with it, thank you :)
Thanks so much Rambino_Porkchop! I really appreciate the kind words, and for you giving it a go =)
This really helped me. Thank you
Thank you very much - I can't tell you how glad I am to hear that Jess! It's my absolute pleasure =)
I made this game over the New Year's weekend back in 2017/18, and was feeling very lonely and miserable. I tried to figure out what I'd say to someone else who felt like I did, and this was the result. So when the game says that I'm honestly grateful to you for talking, I really mean it XD
Do your best to stay focused on the light/gratitude, and just remember Jess - no matter where you are, no matter what circumstances you're dealing with, you are *not* alone!! And you can never lose your light - you *always* have the power to banish the darkness.
All the best for 2020! =)
