Players must guide Jake through 30 classrooms, using the available light sources to create paths to each exit. The goal is to reunite Jake with his girlfriend Rachael, who’s also trapped in the school and calls Jake from time to time on the school’s phone system. Stay in the light and Jake’s safe. Step into the darkness and he’s pulled under. In addition to light puzzling, the game features 5 boss battles against dark faculty members, an unlockable challenge mode, multiple endings, level select mode, and a second playable character.

    LIT stands proudly eclectic among the sea of mediocre titles available on WiiWare, bringing a truly innovative take on the puzzle genre to the table and offering a lot for players to explore. The issues with minor control flaws can't really bring down the well-executed atmosphere, clever design or overall fun the experience of playing the game offers.

    A clever puzzle game that will have you thinking and shaking at the same time. [Christmas 2009, p.101]

    LIT is a puzzle game wrapped up in a 3D candy shell and delivers a fun, creative experience that many will enjoy.

    The whole "use the lights" mechanic is refreshingly unique, and there's definitely a sense of satisfaction after you've figured out the room's solution.

    LIT showcases some rather novel puzzle aspects, while simultaneously remaining shrouded with horror and darkness.

    It's just a shame that, much like its moping hero, it never ventures far enough from its comfort zone to become truly memorable.

    It's good fun and something different. [May 2009, p.76]

    Without a doubt, the best game I've played on WiiWare yet. It actually innovates, which seems to be something severely lacking onWithout a doubt, the best game I've played on WiiWare yet. It actually innovates, which seems to be something severely lacking on WiiWare.

    There are a few aspects which seem clunky, but it more than makes up for those with a clever concept and an excellent take on the somewhat stale puzzle genre.
    I would highly recommend this. Hopefully this series can gain some traction, I'd love to see it on the DS or Xbox Live Arcade!    … Expand

    It's decently fun and a very unique concept using different methods to light up pathways to get to the exit but the controls could have been better.
