LIGHT: Black Cat & Amnesia Girl Launches on PS5 and PS4 With a Mysterious Puzzle Adventure

An atmospheric puzzle adventure puts players in control of a black cat tasked with guiding a young girl through a mysterious world filled with danger, forgotten memories and hidden secrets.

Sometimes the smallest companions can make the biggest difference, especially when navigating a world where danger lurks around every corner.

LIGHT: Black Cat & Amnesia Girl, an atmospheric 3D action-puzzle adventure published by COSEN, is now available digitally on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, following its console launch on 5 November 2026.

The game puts players in the paws of a mysterious black cat, whose glowing eyes help guide a young girl suffering from memory loss through a series of dangerous environments.

With environmental puzzles, wordless storytelling and an unusual approach to character interaction, LIGHT offers a different kind of adventure built around trust, exploration and the relationship between its two central characters.

A Black Cat, a Lost Girl and a World of Shadows

Unlike traditional adventure games, LIGHT doesn’t place players directly in control of its human protagonist.

Instead, players take on the role of a black cat responsible for guiding a young girl through an unfamiliar and dangerous world.

The girl has lost her memories and relies entirely on the cat to find a safe route through the mysterious dungeon.

As players explore, they’ll need to carefully observe their surroundings, identify potential hazards and solve environmental puzzles to help their companion progress.

The girl follows the cat’s movements, meaning players must think about how their actions influence her path.

It’s an interesting twist on the usual puzzle-adventure formula, replacing direct character control with a system built around guidance and trust.

Discover a Story Without Words

One of LIGHT’s most distinctive features is its approach to storytelling.

Rather than relying on lengthy conversations or traditional dialogue, the game reveals its narrative through environmental details, exploration and the discoveries players make along the way.

As the black cat and young girl travel deeper into the mysterious world, clues gradually reveal more about their forgotten pasts and the circumstances that brought them together.

The experience places particular emphasis on atmosphere, using dark environments, lighting and carefully designed locations to create a sense of uncertainty.

With the girl dependent on the cat for protection, even ordinary obstacles can become meaningful challenges.

The result is an adventure that aims to tell an emotional story through actions and visual details rather than spoken words.

Solve Puzzles and Uncover Hidden Secrets

Exploration plays a central role in LIGHT, with players navigating dungeon environments filled with mechanisms, obstacles and hidden pathways.

Progress requires careful observation and an understanding of how the girl responds to the cat’s movements.

Players must identify safe routes, interact with environmental puzzles and avoid dangers that could prevent their companion from reaching the next area.

There are also secrets hidden throughout the adventure.

Discovering certain collectibles allows players to unlock additional outfits and customise the girl’s appearance, providing another reason to explore the environments thoroughly.

The combination of puzzle-solving, indirect character control and environmental storytelling creates an experience focused on observation rather than fast-paced combat.

Physical Editions Available Exclusively in Japan

Alongside the worldwide digital release, COSEN has launched two physical editions for PlayStation 5 in Japan.

For those who enjoy atmospheric exploration, environmental puzzles and story-driven adventures, LIGHT offers an intriguing journey where the bond between a girl and her feline companion takes centre stage.

Sometimes, finding the way forward only takes a little light in the darkness.
