Overview
Sectantes Lux is a short indie 2D horror sidescroller about pursuing the fading light of the lamp posts in a dying post-apocalyptic city, all the while, something malicious lurks within the darkness beyond your vision. Stumble through the dimly lit and treacherous city streets, with only the faint glow of your eyes to guide you. Avoid hazards and traps created from the rubble of the necropolis, race against the dying of the light, and run from the evil that has gripped this city’s darkness.
This short game is only a couple of minutes long and has no long-term progression or saves. You only have one shot to survive as long as you can manage. This game was created as a semester university project with a team of six.
