The premise, in the publisher's words
12 March 1938. Renée, 16 years old, is ripped out of her world, locked up and deprived of everything. Her only fault was that she didn't know what her place in the world was. "A danger to herself and others and a cause of public scandal" wrote the police headquarters. The only horror you will find in this game is the truth: a blow to the solar plexus, much more intense than any supernatural presence.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, drama, horror and mystery. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 20 achievements to unlock.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i3 or equivalent AMD, 4 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460, AMD Radeon HD 6770 with at least 1 GB VRAM. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 8GB.

What it launched against
The Town of Light launched on 26 February 2016, within three weeks of Tom Clancy's The Division, Stardew Valley, Firewatch and SuperHot. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Tom Clancy's The Division, Stardew Valley, Firewatch, SuperHot.
