BLACKOUT - In The Light

BLACKOUT is a first-person horror game set in a single derelict room. A bare bulb hangs from the ceiling, stained wallpaper peels from the walls, papers litter the floor, and a lone dresser holds a framed picture beside a small candle. You hold a flashlight, and a battery meter in the corner shows how much light you have left.

Walking drains your light. Stand still to let it recover. A clock at the top of the screen counts toward 90 seconds, and the dark is not safe. Use F or right-click for the flashlight, E to interact, and C to crouch. Search the suitcase, the closet, and the space under the bed, and listen for a faint voice that tells you when you are getting closer.

Somewhere in the room a small green crystal is hidden, in a different place each run. Find it, seal it inside your flashlight, and turn that light into the Saber of Radiance before the thing across the room reaches you. One clean strike is all you get. Run out of time, or let it get to you, and the blackout wins.
