Void Light is a short experimental game around dreams and memories.

The game use only procedural geometries to create mysterious landscapes to wander. You may need a decent graphic cards or to lower the resolution if it's too heavy. Everything is made in shaders using raymarching.

To go to the next scene, you have to find and reach the white light that glow through walls. Or you can press "N" on the keyboard if you are too lost.

Controls:
Keyboard: arrow keys to rotate camera, space to go forward, shift to go backward, N to skip the level.
Gamepad: left stick to rotate camera, A to go forward, B to go backward

Tools: Unity, Sonic-Pi

Here is a walkthrough of the game:

Damn the mood is brilliant! Anyone please don't give up until you reach level 3. What a brilliant level

Really nice contemplative experience. The graphics are very polished and kinda relaxing, and the music helps set the mood. The performance was quite poor on my laptop however, and the controls were a little bit clunky. Still a really good submission !

This is beautiful. I am going to check the source files because these environments are just stunning! Music together with the animation creates this mood like you are in a dream, loved it! not sure about the theme though, but it's alright! :D

Stunning visuals and good music, perfect for an ambiance game.
Last level is very intimidating o/

Excellent atmosphere ! The only downside are the controls. I found it quite awkward to control the camera. Also, sometimes i was badly oriented in a level and could only see black so i though the level was still loading. Everything was very enjoyable even though I wasn't able to find the bright light in the forest level.

Super original ! Hypnotisant, parfois j'étais totalement désorientée c'est hyper perturbant, mais ça colle parfaitement avec l'univers du rêve, et la musique participe vraiment à notre immersion (elle est cool, au passage !)

Interesting idea but I would not call this a game. It's an experiment. As for the controls: remember that innovative does not mean unlogical. I would have had much better experience with classic keys to move and mouse to look.

Super cool! The graphics are fantastic; I was excited to see a raymarching entry!

As other folks have mentioned, the controls are definitely one of the weaker points. Using the keyboard for turning felt very awkward. I think it would have been better if it used mouse-look and 6DoF controls instead.

There are also some minor typos/grammar errors in the text, and the text itself is a bit plain (especially in contrast with the environments), but a cool entry overall!

Great sounds and graphics even if the light was hurting a the eye when it was too much in front of the camera

Stunning visuals and weird mood. As usual, you did something great, totally unusual and really interesting in technical terms. It reminds me Captain Blood on my old Atari 520st. I didn't know anything about Sonic-Pi. It seems to me really useful - amazing. Thank you ++

Really cool graphics experiment! It's awesome that it's all generated and written with shaders.

Impressive visuals and variety, you’re becoming very skilled at that exercise! You’ll be happy to know that the rendering works fine on my integrated Intel GPU, even though it’s a bit slow from time to time (especially the forest).

Super neat graphics and audio! Makes me think of demo parties, are you somehow involved with the scene? Movement feels kind of slow, and I'm not sure how this fits the theme. But everything else is just brilliant, thanks for making this!

oh yeah! Love it. Had a great time playing the game. Going to play your other games soon they look 'fun', keep it up.
