    This game is a poorly executed walking simulator. It is suppose to a psychological horror game however instead it is just a confusing story that is not scary at all.

    It's such a shame the visuals end up spoiling an otherwise harrowing experience. [Aug 2017, p.96]

    The Town of Light is an experience with the power to enlighten many to the anguish of those few still lost in the dark.

    The Town of Light features a harrowing, historically-accurate story of mental illness and society's failure to understand it. Unfortunately, its steadily-worsening gameplay ultimately obscures the impact and importance of this tale, rendering even one playthrough far from worth it. I will grant that it made me want to read about 20th-century mental asylums on my own time, but I suppose that says it all; just read about these asylums and you'll spare yourself a lot of pain.
