The turning direction is specified by the mouse direction. The tail spines of jellyfish can cause harm to other creatures. Players need to control the jellyfish to avoid monsters and traps, move upwards guided by the light, pick up passing soul fragments to enhance themselves and increase their health points until they swim out of the sea. The overall color of the game adopts a soothing light and shadow effect and blue.

How terrifying is the darkness without a blind cane
(Following the Light) : In the non-barrier-free simple mode, soul fragments, friendly NPCS, or directions that have been lost for a long time will shine a light on the correct location.

Barrier-free mode
The accessibility mode is mainly designed to help visually impaired people play the game smoothly. During gameplay, there are no “outliers”. Players can use the sound waves emitted by the jellyfish to predict the surrounding situation. The light will always be present without losing its “light”, and the sounds heard by players under the correct guidance of the light will also be different. Players can judge whether the direction is wrong based on the music The echo of sound waves will also tell players whether there are walls around. In accessibility mode, the sounds emitted by soul fragments are more distinct and automatically picked up. npc dialogues will also be automatically initiated, and the player’s narrator will provide appropriate suggestions, such as:
“Seems to be going in the wrong direction?” “
Something is calling.
Player restrictions
TIn the deep sea in the early stage of the game, players are like a glimmer of light carried by an invisible ocean current, unable to stop actively and can only keep drifting forward. Each turn was heavy and sluggish, making it impossible to turn back quickly. It could only slowly draw a depressing arc within a narrow Angle of no more than thirty degrees, as if struggling to turn around in the thick darkness. What is even more disturbing is that the player’s own radiance cannot be concealed in this darkness. It is both the only consolation and a dangerous bait, constantly attracting the latent hostility. Before learning to “disguise”, players can’t even slightly suppress this light. They can only watch helplessly as they become the brightest target in the darkness. In the involuntary drift, they learn to survive in constraints and plan in passivity until they finally master the ability to hover and hide. Only then can they transform from the faint light that drifts with the current to the stealer who dominates the deep sea.
Gameplay Loop
The player’s journey begins at their birth point, where they first encounter Lady Sea Anemone. From there, they start to explore the mysterious world, gathering soul fragments to grow in power—or perhaps choosing not to. Along the way, they may meet outliers, dangerous beings that force a choice: stand and fight, or flee to survive. If defeated, the player temporarily falls into a state of “no light”—a moment of darkness before rising again. Once ready, they press on toward the next level, finally emerging onto the sea surface to complete their passage and clear the stage.
