The Town of Light v20

The Town of Light is a first-person psychological adventure set in a faithfully reconstructed Italian psychiatric hospital in the late 1930s. You step into the shoes of Renée, a sixteen-year-old girl who—on March 12, 1938—finds herself torn from her family and confined behind the walls of an asylum. Branded “a danger to herself and others,” she must navigate the institutional maze and confront the devastating reality of her circumstances.
