About the Game
Temple of Starlight is a first-person puzzle game that stands out with its unique visual style and non-linear narrative. Make your way down to the depths of the temple by manipulating lights and colors, and lead a falling civilization through the starlight crisis.
Temple of Starlight offers more than 30 different puzzles, resulting in over an hour of gameplay time. While prioritizing quality over quantity, we strive for this to be a short, but pleasant experience.
NON-LINEAR NARRATIVE – MAKE YOUR CHOICE
Explore an event from the ancient Saasil civilization, where they encountered a natural disaster of the stars fading, and their most crucial resource – starlight (energy collected from the stars) – became inaccessible.
The three rulers Red, Green, and Blue were destined to tackle the starlight disaster and protect their people. You are directly involved in the story progression by making meaningful choices as you progress through the levels.
MIX ADDITIVE COLORS
The main mechanics of the game include manipulating three primary colors of light – red, green, and blue. Test your skills of additive colors by enabling, rotating, and mixing these lights to adjust colored objects.
RETRO VISUAL STYLE
Immerse yourself in an abstract environment with vibrant colors and mystical structures. Unique visuals are enhanced by a completely original musical score and sound effects.

I love the game so far, love the bold colors and how this game lights up and keeps my attention. The low poly and art style is just BELLISSIMO. I also love the puzzles and the use of additive color theory to solve the puzzles. The sound... both sound effects and the background sound made my experience so amazing. The story and voice acting gives a higher immersion and brings you closer to the game, because each level has more cues about what is happening in the story and it is just oof!! Perfect game for the price. Can't wait to get all the achievements and can't wait to see more of Enlit Games!!

ENG: Minimalistic but attractive graphics, puzzles with lights of colors that follow a narrative, in which we make decisions (with consequences) and a homemade voice acting, the price is pretty good too. EDIT: I just beat the game through one of its endings and I am really impressed, it's a very good job. Buy it.
ESP: Gráficos minimalistas pero lindos, puzzles con luces de colores que siguen una historia, en la cual tomamos decisiones (con consecuencias) y un acting de voz hecho en casa, el precio esta bastante barato. EDIT: Acabo de superar el juego en uno de sus finales y la verdad que me impresiono, es un buen trabajo realmente, compren.

Randomly remembered I forgot to write a review for this game so here goes:
Temple of Starlight is the first game Enlit Games have released on Steam, and made sure it was a worthy first impression. The devs are really young and talented. Which truly shows in this game.
The concept is very creative; solving puzzles in dark areas by using lights and colors to your advantage, you actually need to think through the colors you need to combine to create new colors, which indirectly teaches color theory on top of being a fun and creative mechanic.
The story is interesting and leaves you questioning your morality with some critical choices to make. It's told in a beautiful 'show, don't tell' type of way where the environment resembles important events from the story. It's all very aesthetically pleasing and the art direction is something I don't think I've seen in a game before.
In short, absolute banger of an introduction from Enlit Games. I will definitely keep an eye on them and their future games and I can recommend everyone to do the same!

Completed fully on Steam Deck.
Very short but very sweet puzzle game. My only "hiccup" with it is that puzzle difficulty doesn't go further (in the base game), so it felt a bit too easy. Halloween extra levels though were just right and felt good.
In general, can recommend!
P.S. The game can be completed under 2 hours, if you did, please support the developer and do not refund the game (even though Steam allows it)!

I originally intended to only take a peek, but ended up playing through the entire game in one sitting.
Temple of Starlight is a puzzle game that is very approachable to non-puzzle players like myself, even though you may end up temporarily embarrassed as you forget how to mix, say, the color yellow, and need to consult your favorite flavor of search engine.
I echo other people's sentiment about the game hitting a good spot between simple puzzles and them being too frustrating. The difficulty slowly builds over time, and just when I thought it would approach the realm of impossibility for not so experienced puzzlers, it turns out I was actually approaching the end of the game! What I almost thought to be undoable only proved to be a challenge for the final few puzzles.
The story is interesting and easy to follow while leaving enough room for personal speculation. I didn't expect a game of this category to actually make me stop and think about my morals in order to decide which path to follow.
Also +1 for the music, as it reminded me of Outer Wilds as well. It's quiet, slow, and soothing, and fits right in with the rest of the atmosphere.
A good deal for such a low price. I will definitely be back shortly to collect the rest of the achievements! :)

Cool little puzzle game that manages to hit the sweet spot between easy and frustrating.
Easy recommend for puzzle game fans.

Highly enjoyable indie game, starts off pretty easy to teach the basic mechanics then ramps up the difficulty significantly and its much longer than what you'd expect from such a game.
Pros :
-Fun and rather difficult puzzles, purely physics based so sometimes you can beat them in ways that the developer did not intend.
-Teaches you about mixing light colours, something that I was not great at before this game
-Very similar to Anti-chamber in aesthetics and game play which is a compliment because that game rocks
-Has actual voice acting which is rare for indie games like this
Cons:
-Can't be played for long sessions at a time, I rarely get motion sick in games (But I did get motion sick in antichamber so it makes sense)
Overall highly recommended for the price.
