- Lightmatter Anniversary: Play 9 never-before-released prototypes! - 29 January 2025
Hello everyone! As we wrote a few weeks ago, Lightmatter is turning five years this month!🥳 Some of you might already know that the game actually began as a university project called 'See You On The Other Side' in 2013! The game looked very different back then with its hatching art style and main focus on jumping through shadows. Our big dream was to release the game on Steam, so we decided to keep exploring lights & shadows as an active gameplay mechanic. Since this was our first big game project, we had to go through many trials and tribulations before the game could finally see the light of day in 2020! As a special treatment to everyone in the Lightmatter community, today we are releasing a bundle with 9 never-before-released prototype builds — spanning from 2013 to 2018. Each of the prototypes tell the story of the many challenges we went through as an indie game studio. We were a…
- Happy 5-year anniversary! - 15 January 2025

In order to celebrate, today we are releasing the amazing soundtrack that Ulrik Slot Christensen composed for the game. So if you want to participate in a bit of nostalgia with us, fire up your favorite music service and give the Lightmatter OST a listen! Spotify - Lightmatter OST Apple Music - Lightmatter OST YouTube - Lightmatter OST Amazon Music - Lightmatter OST Thanks to everyone who played the game and has followed the Lightmatter community over the years! We still check the Steam reviews from time to time — and it always warms our hearts to read how much people are enjoying our little game. See you on the other side! PS. We are cooking up something more for the anniversary, which we will share with you very soon. So stay tuned!

- Unlock the full game for 35% off - 1 July 2020
To Whom it May Concern, Summer is upon us, and there’s no better time to experience the brilliance of Lightmatter. In the spirit of “summer fun,” expected contributions to the employee quality of life services at Lightmatter Technologies have been reduced. For a limited time, you can explore even more of my scientific paradise for 35% less than before. A small price to pay to ensure your survival, wouldn’t you agree? -Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies Unlock the Full Tour
- Let's Play Lightmatter: David Bateson - 24 April 2020
To Whom it May Concern, A notable figure has decided to join in on the public tour of Lightmatter Technologies: a voice actor who goes by the name David Bateson. You may recognize him as the voice of Agent 47 in the game Hitman. Some even claim his voice bears a striking resemblance to my own. He should consider himself fortunate. Very few can claim that they are anything like me. I’ve graciously allowed Tunnel Vision Games to share footage of his tour with the world. Perhaps now those who doubt me will see things from my perspective. -Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
- The Lux Principle - 13 March 2020
To Whom it May Concern, It seems Lightmatter is not the only incredible breakthrough from Lightmatter Industries. As it turns out, James’s four-legged fluff ball could be the key to the most important discovery in the history of workplace practices. Our cat photo initiative increased employee productivity by 125%. I think I’ll call it “ The Lux Principle.” In order to maintain this efficiency, I’ve directed James to compile further footage of Lux exploring Lightmatter technologies. Our intern has once again offered her take on Lux’s thoughts in the footage: If only you could handle the shadows as calmly as that cat. Ah well. I’m certain that you’ll be able to get through your tour despite your lack of catlike grace. -Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
- Lightmatter Accolades - 6 March 2020
Doubters, The scientific marvels contained within the walls of Lightmatter Technologies are magnificent to behold. I’ve worked tirelessly to convince the world that Lightmatter will brighten the world, but my detractors claim I’m a biased spokesperson. You’ll be pleased to know that you don’t just have to take my word for it. As it turns out, the press has been rather receptive to Lightmatter, as they should be. I’ve compiled a few of my favorite quotes from journalists who understand the brilliance of Lightmatter in a short video. If you’re still not convinced, I urge you to take a tour of the Lightmatter facilities. Seeing the core for yourself will no doubt leave you in awe. -Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
- Record of Six - 28 February 2020
To whom it may concern, You see that giant piece of metal moving back and forth? It's a top-grade mineral decontaminator. I installed a fence around that decontaminator, twice. My employees keep tearing it down to bet money on how many times they can run back and forth before the decontaminator closes. One of them bragged to me about his record of six. I told him that I was impressed and fired him. I hope you're not attempting to beat that record. Yes, you may get a meaningless achievement; however, I assure you that the risk of getting crushed to death far outweighs the reward. -Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
- Lightmatter: The Cat Adventure - 24 February 2020
To Whom it May Concern, My Human Resources team has suggested that photos and videos of cats may increase employee productivity. I suppose I can share some security footage we’ve captured of James’ cat, Lux. An intern even added some text to some of our footage that the masses might consider amusing. Personally, I find it trivial, but I’ve been informed that sharing this image should boost employee efficiency by 32%. One small warning to our tour guests: during your tour, you might stumble into our cat, Lux. If you experience skin rashes, headaches, or hair-loss keep in mind that you might be allergic to cats. -Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
- Welcome to Lightmatter 1.09 - 10 February 2020
To Whom it May Concern, Lightmatter is the single most important development in renewable energy that the world has ever seen. That is why my scientists and engineers work tirelessly to innovate. Today we launch Lightmatter 1.09, complete with Danish voice-over work, developer commentary, new achievement art, and more. What’s New Those of you who seek to rise above the mediocrity of your peers will be pleased to discover new and unique art for each achievement on Steam. We’ve also added an audio translation of the tour for our Danish guests in their native language. Danish actor Lars Mikkelsen lends his voice to this translation. It’s only fitting that such a prolific actor speaks Danish on my behalf. Here at Lightmatter Technologies, there’s so much more to learn about the creation of Lightmatter. Tunnel Vision Games has added a developer commentary to give you a behind-the-scenes look…
- Introducing Lightmatter 1.05 - 21 January 2020
Doubters, Renewable energy is the door and Lightmatter is the key to our future. Lightmatter’s debut is a testament to that; however, the journey does not end with a launch at Lightmatter Technologies. Instead, it marches forward with the blood and sweat of visionaries. Today, my Scientists, Engineers, and one jovial soul I’ve allowed to be the Janitor at Tunnel Vision Games have launched Lightmatter 1.05, complete with bug fixes and improvements. This update will download automatically. Those who have experienced the inexplicable beauty of the core understand the magnitude of its power. Begin your tour now to join their enlightened ranks! -Virgil, CEO Lightmatter Technologies

- First-person puzzler of lights and killer shadows, Lightmatter, releases this week - 12 January 2020
Lightmatter is a devious-looking first person puzzle game set to release on January 15th where you manipulate light sources to get from point A to point B—mostly due to all the flesh-eating shadows in between you and the exits from any given room. This is definitely one for fans of Antichamber , The Talos Principle , Manifold Garden , or Portal . It has that story-driven twist, too, with a primary antagonist by voice actor David Bateson—that’s Agent 47 to the unfamiliar. I like how it looks—an attractive aesthetic with a thick-lined, high-contrast art style that really suits it and looks smooth in play.  Lightmatter’s story is about an inventor who has created an incredible new source of energy and again, apparently, shadows that eat people. Whoops. Sometimes these things happen. Lightmatter was announced early last year. You can find and/or wishl…
