Here is an excerpt from Thanks, Light.'s Steam description:

“THANKS, LIGHT.” is a first-person puzzle adventure where geometry, physics, and perception collide. Examine the world through light, manipulate dimensions, and uncover shapes that were never what they seemed.

Light the object

In “THANKS, LIGHT.”, shining light reveals the object's hidden 3D form—granting it weight, collision, and reality. What looked like a simple square might unfold into a staircase. A thin silhouette might mask a towering pillar. Use this mechanic to solve puzzles built around spatial insight, object orientation, and hidden structures. It’s not just about what you see — it’s about what the light reveals...

Absorb the light

Absorbing light strips an object of its volume and mass, flattening it into a static 2D state. A ball that once rolled now rests. A block once blocking your way now slips between the cracks. Mastering this mechanic is essential for controlling motion, freezing time, and even navigating through narrow impossibilities. It’s geometry with gravity off.
