Light in the Dark: Director's Cut was released for free on PS5 this week and is currently available via the PlayStation Store. The game features no microtransactions and is planned to launch on Steam in October.
At the time of writing, the game has received over 4,300 user reviews on the PlayStation Store, with an average rating of 3.46 out of 5. Before the Steam version launches, the PS5 is currently the platform where you can access the Director's Cut.
The Director's Cut, released by Luc Bernard and Arcade Distillery, expands upon the original Light in the Dark that launched on PS4 in 2023. Bernard stated that this new version more closely aligns with his initial vision, featuring full voice acting, an expanded storyline, and new animations.
Light in the Dark is a narrative-driven game that tells the story of a Polish-Jewish family living in Nazi-occupied France during World War II. Players experience the plight of ordinary people amidst the chaos of war, rather than viewing events from the perspective of soldiers or political leaders.
The original Light in the Dark had a playtime of approximately one to two hours. While the Director's Cut adds more content, there is currently no confirmed information regarding its exact playtime; its Steam release is scheduled for October.
