Witness a psychedelic vision of American Christianity. LIGHT-BRINGER is a first-person exploration horror game with psychedelic visuals and a harsh noise soundtrack. Explore multiple levels featuring puzzle platforming elements and hidden items, while chaotic FMVs play in sync with the music, creating an inescapable audiovisual nightmare that continuously changes as you explore it. Engage with the temptation of Lucifer and gaze upon his works. The game explores Lucifer as a metaphor for humanity's capacity for malice. Platforming sections are interspersed with cutscenes during which Lucifer will show you what he has done, and ask you to join him. Watch as Christ's message is contorted and abused by the powers that be. Environments and in-game videos depict the resurgence of Christofascism in the United States of America, and how its proponents publicly and privately act in ways that are directly contradictory to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.  Love each other. -Mared Jurphy Special thanks to Tyler Jordan and Curtis Krommenhoek for play-testing LIGHT-BRINGER, and to Chloe Murphy for her invaluable insight throughout the development process. Made using FMOD Studio by Firelight Technologies Pty Ltd. 

Press reviews: “Mared Jurphy takes all types of light, from nuclear blast to the muzzle flash of spree killers, as American luciferian energy. The impossible space of this platformer collect-a-thon slaps you with a rare integration of videoludic harsh noise, both sonic and visual.” Frédérick Maheux, Interactive Noise “A surreal and chaotic critique about the state of Christianity in America. Featuring a mix of gameplay genres and an awesome soundtrack (if you’re into harsh noise), this is a trip that’s also food for thought.” Weird Fucking Games
