Silent Light is a real time 2D Side scrolling puzzle game in which players attempt to navigate a group of paper lanterns representing lost souls through a maze using a limited number of tools.
At the beginning of each maze level players start in an unlit area. They must use resources to guide paper lanterns safely from the start of the level to the end, after thirty seconds a breeze begins to blow the lanterns forward. Players can freely place resources within the lit area and so must use the variety of things to help navigate the lanterns safely through the maze by creating things such as fires, fans or ice to move the lanterns in the appropriate way. Some elements may require powering by harnessing water flows in the area.
Silent light is a simple obstacle course escort puzzle game, using calming music and softer lighting and art style to give the gameplay a relaxing feel while still requiring a degree of focus and forethought as the lanterns move forward. Players shouldn't feel they can spend their resources frivolously but shouldn't feel a potential solution is too expensive (unless it's incredibly bad). No additional rewards will be given for having extra resources so as to encourage players to solve puzzles in their own way
