Backpack Boy is off on one of his treks when he discovers a peculiar flashlight that changes the world around him. Explore a seemingly abandoned structure in this puzzle platformer built around mode-swapping.

Flashlight

The Flashlight is the first and most important tool in your backpack. Though, this flashlight doesn't just light up the dark. It shines its way to somewhere else. Use it to solve puzzles and explore a dilapidated facility that has been long abandoned.

Lantern

The second tool at your disposal is The Lantern. Endowed with the same power as The Flashlight, these lanterns provide the ability to punch holes between here and somewhere else. But what are they doing here? And who left them?
