WII LIT: WAYFORWARD’S WIIWARE HORROR PUZZLER APPROACHES

Adventures of Lolo meets Silent Hill 2 sounds like a practical joke or an idea for a b3ta/SA photoshop thread, but it might not be all too far off base for WayForward’s WiiWare puzzler LIT, which the developer has just announced will be coming to the console on Monday the 9th.

The studio used the reference points in an interview in 2008, and it’s not hard to see why above: while the game that springs to mind more quickly might now be the recently featured Closure, the birds-eye puzzling and obvious horror overtones are readily apparent.

WayForward say the game involves the “typical, apathetic, slightly emo teenager” Jake who has to make his way through 30 classrooms to reunite with his girlfriend Rachael, but, as with Closure, is limited to stepping where the darkness don’t not shine, part of which can be puzzled out with in-game items like remotes for switching on TVs in nearby rooms, flares and so on.

It’s been some time since we’ve been able to wholeheartedly recommend a WiiWare game (quite possibly since World of Goo), but this appears to be pressing all the right switches.
