The game

The Last Light is a playable vertical slice built with Three.js: light is the resource, focus is the verb and the dark pushes back. Dead lanterns line the route and can be woken as you go. It is the first playable build hosted in this repository — open it from this page on a desktop or a phone and see how far the light takes you.

Current focus

Grow the route past the first crossing, tune focus cost against the darkness and test on more real devices.
