Into Light: A Premium Solo Series for Solo Gamers & Collectors
A three-part progression of unique, yet connected solo games — a journey from the ground to the stars. Each entry in the series builds upon the last, with the success of previous games impacting future games.
Series Traits
• Solo only, intentionally designed gaming experiences
• High replayability
• Quick and easy to table
• Straight forward turns, yet deep strategy. Made to be enjoyable as a casual accessible experience, but has the potential for deep calculation
• A focus on simple mechanics and long term "meta-game" progression
• Small form factor, premium production quality
• Holographic cards, custom sleeves, and stitched-edge playmats
• Official soundtrack to enhance immersion
Game I – Into Light: Light Well
“The Darkness moves across the plain. You have been called to unleash the light of the planet.”
The first step on your journey — opening and sealing the Light Wells that hold the energy of change itself. You are alone, called to a remote location by your intuition. It is here you must master the four elemental energies flowing within you, before the Darkness falls.
Core Systems:
• Energy, Powers, and Glyphs
• Manage Energy – Earth, Air, Water, Fire - channeling their power into the Glyphs, charging the Glyphs toward activation
• Glyphs drain you as they are activated — each one amplifies your energetic instability increasing late game difficulty
• The Darkness Counter holds a total time limit for victory
• Victory requires activating all three Glyphs or achieving Elemental Mastery (alternate win condition)
Game Series Progression:
• Secure five Light Wells (win five games by any means)
• Achieve Elemental Mastery of at least one Energy (in at least one game)
• Lose no more than three times in the process
Master your energy, seal and secure the light wells before darkness falls. Each well you open sends a beacon of light upward, toward the sky.
[Your Elemental Mastery attained carries into and influences the next game]
Game II – Into Light: Sky Tower
“The Light Wells shine below. Their power rises skyward, calling for structure — for form.”
With the Light Wells opened and secured, the energy of the planet begins to rise. Now, you must guide this force and construct Sky Towers, beacons of change, illuminating the sky. But as you build higher, the demands of balance and resource increase.
Core Systems:
• Construct a five-layer tower using limited resources
• Manage the Guilds - Merchants, Builders, and Researchers — three factions shaping the tower’s form
• The Darkness Counter continues to hold you to time
• Each layer built increases complexity and need for resources
• Victory requires building all 5 layers or achieving a Guild Ascension (alternate win condition)
Game Series Progression:
• Build five complete towers (win five games)
• Ascend one Guild (in at least one game)
• Lose no more than three times
Build upward, but stay grounded. Every level of the tower is both a triumph and a test.
[Your Elemental Masteries from Light Well and Guild Ascensions from Sky Tower intertwine to influence the next game]
Game III – Into Light: Planet Dome
“The sky towers gleam across the land. It is time to unify their light — to create harmony above, below, and within.”
The final step of the journey unites the Light Wells and Sky Towers in a planetary act of synthesis. You will construct the Planet Dome, a massive latticework of energy channels designed to focus all energy and light into a single Star Burst — an act of planetary illumination.
Core Systems:
• Connect and balance the planet dome
• Build across grids and lattices, connecting the towers.
• Coordinate energy flow and spatial symmetry to maintain balance
• The Darkness Counter continues, only the Star Burst can remove it forever
• Achieve the final state: Harmony in Duality
So much effort to arrive where you have always been. Your enlightenment is not an achievement, it is a realization of what has always been. Perfection.
Will you delve back into the darkness?
A Teaser for Game 1...
Into Light: Light Well
You stand at the threshold of the first Light Well — a source of light energy deep within the ground. Your task: Use your energies to secure the Light Well open before the Darkness falls.
This is a strategic solo card game with elements of of resource management, hand management, deck management, luck, and skill.
Each decision matters.
Each turn your ability to recall what you have done before and anticipate what comes next is of vital importance.
Timing is everything. The Darkness is falling and you must choose.
Master your energy flow, and you will secure the Light Well — fail, and darkness will fall upon you.
Premium from the Ground Up

- High quality, intentional art
- Holo and holo accented cards
- Custom, high quality sleeves
- Stitched-edge, stunning playmats

A Note On "Exclusive Rewards"
Into Light Games is a small production company managed by one, passionate person with the input of experienced game designers, game publishers, highly experienced competitive gamers, and testers.
This is a passion project that brings forward all the aspects of physical gaming I love. Handling cards. Beautiful art. Great music. Playmats. Sleeves. Shiny things! Just thinking of it all makes me happy.
Bringing a new game to life takes a lot of time, energy, and resources. The initial investments made into the game, its design, and its potential production route can all be accounted for mostly with time and a relatively small personal financial investment. The game's final full physical production will require money. For me, money and profit is not what is driving this project. As a result, I am not interested in creating exclusivity with its promotion. I enjoy, and am often motivated by, "crowdfunding exclusives". Its cool to have exclusive things, but here in this project I dont want to create an environment of "I have to buy it now because I will miss out later." That way of bringing something forward is just fine, but it doesnt match the heart of Into Light.
With all that said, there will be no exclusives for this project. There WILL be stellar art, awesome playmats, and beautiful sleeves. If you enjoy what I enjoy in games, you will LOVE the final product. Support this project's creation because you resonate with the vision, want to experience what it can be, and believe in supporting a solo game developer and publisher. Join me in making something amazing. From an idea of what's possible, to a physical reality we all enjoy.
0% pressure or fear of missing out, 100% love of games and gamers.
