thumbnail_the-town-of-lightLKA.it, an independent developer based in Florence, Italy, is announcing today that their first game, The Town of Light , has been updated to support Oculus Rift.

The update is available on Steam for free to everyone that already owns the game.

To celebrate this, LKA is offering a 25% discount offer for new players from 9th May until 16th of May included.

Winner of the indie DB editor’s choice 2015 for “best visual” and finalist at Game Connection Paris 2014 for best narrative as well as “Recommended” Awards from Eurogamer, The Town of Light is a first-person psychological thriller set in the Volterra Psychiatric Asylum.

The asylum was shut down in the late 1970’s by a law from the Italian government which instructed all asylums to close completely and give back patients their civil rights.

The game, based on extensive research and inspired to real facts, will be played through the fictional eyes of Renée, an imaginary 16-year-old girl that suffers from the symptoms of mental illness. She is looking to find what’s happened to her in the past, exploring the place where she spent most of her youth (you can check Renee’s personal diary here).

“We are really excited to release the Oculus version of the game today. One of our goal with The Town of Light is immersing the player in a realistic experience and we are glad to be able to offer the game today with full VR support.” said Luca Dalco, creative director.

The Town of Light is currently available on PC via Steam and will be released in 2016 on Xbox One.
