The Story

You wake up in a pitch-black cell. Your memories are entirely wiped. The only connection to the outside world is a single, barred window, and an eerie audio broadcast crackling through the dark:

"Welcome, agent. We both know why you are here, do we not? Just remember... because the first light approaches soon."

Blending classic 007-inspired espionage with psychological mystery, you must race against a literal and metaphorical sunrise to decode cryptic puzzles, recover your identity, and uncover what happened at a compromised secret laboratory right next door.

Features

  • Classic Point-and-Click Investigation: Search your surroundings for hidden cassette tapes, classified documents, and fragmented map pieces.
  • Espionage-Style Cryptography: Piece together shattered maps and use overlay tracking sheets to deduce your coordinates and unlock high-security padlocks.
  • An Unreliable Reality: As your memories slowly return, the environment fractures. Rooms change when you turn your back, cassette recordings alter their messages upon replay, and previously solved puzzles warp into entirely new mysteries.
  • Built for the Theme: Experience a story where "First Light" represents a ticking clock, a dangerous laboratory cover-up, and the eventual mental breakthrough of regaining your mind.

This was built for the Nimble Fox Game Jam 2026.

It's amazing how compelling game you made with just one room and a timer. The timer gives the sense of needing to hurry altho I am not sure if it can actually reach target unscripted. Also absolutely love the fact that you didn't force the player to play the whole game again to see the other ending!

Cool work!

loved the game :D thanks
