Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a fixed route may hit a wall when the hospital maze changes between playthroughs.
- Players who prefer predictable encounters may find the changing layout and uncertain presence difficult to settle into.
- Players seeking a bright setting may not suit a game where a phone is the only stated source of light.
Our take on Daylight
The bounce point comes when a route ends and the player must turn around. The phone offers the only stated light, while strange noises and an eerie presence may occupy the darkness behind the player.
What is Daylight?
Daylight is a psychological thriller set in an abandoned hospital.
The player wakes trapped inside and relies on a phone as the only source of light. Navigation leads through a maze whose layout is generated differently for each playthrough. When a route ends, turning around can reveal strange noises or an eerie presence behind the player. The objective is to reach safety while moving through dark corridors and avoiding what may be waiting ahead. Because the maze changes between attempts, routes and surroundings are not fixed. The game places its focus on escape, exploration, darkness, and unpredictable encounters within the hospital.
How Daylight plays
- 01Changing Maze Layout
- The hospital’s structure is generated anew for each playthrough, altering the route toward safety.
- 02Phone Light Source
- The player uses a phone to illuminate the abandoned hospital while navigating its corridors.
- 03Unpredictable Encounters
- Dead ends can force a turn back toward strange noises and an eerie presence.
