It’s Christmas Eve, but the magic feels wrong.

Broken Lights is a narrative-driven psychological survival horror experience that traps you inside the twisted reality of a 10-year-old boy. You play as Seth, who awakes to find his home corrupted and his family missing. The cozy atmosphere of the holidays has given way to a claustrophobic nightmare, fueled by childhood jealousy and the manifestation of an ancient, horned evil.

Your mission is clear but harrowing: discover the fragmented remains of the letter you wrote to Santa, piece together the truth of what you wished for, and burn the evidence to break the curse before the entity consumes you entirely.

A Vulnerable Perspective

Unlike typical horror protagonists, Seth is defenseless. You cannot fight back. Your only hope is evasion, stealth, and the tactical use of your limited resources. The world is seen through the eyes of a terrified child where mundane objects turn monstrous and the silence is heavy with dread.
