So, your fine host has been experiencing technical difficulties out the wazoo recently, so I’ve not been as timely with the blog as I perhaps should be. Hopefully I can get it all sorted out soon enough. But, do not fret because I have been trying to keep up to date on all things Wii.

The other day I found a trailer on IGN that made me giddy with excitement. This excitement was doubled by the fact that it was a Wiiware title. The game is Lit. In it you play a high school kid, Jake, who comes to school one day to find all the power out, his girl (Rachael)l kidnapped and creepy crawlies ready to take him if he steps out of light. Throughout the game Jake will be kept in contact with Rachael through the schools phone system. She will call him with hints about what is going on, how it happened, and other clues about finding her and unraveling this mystery. The coolest part is that she won’t stay on the line, you have to answer in a timely manner, which means you’ll have to navigate through the monsters to get there. The game is a sort of horror/survivor/puzzler. Jake goes into a dark room, and must make his way to the exit, all without ever touching darkness. He can light up lamps, break windows, or use various other light sources to make his escape. Lit is developed by WayForward Technologies, and is set to release next Monday, Feb. 9 for 800 points. I can say, based on what I’ve read and the trailer I’m posting below, it’s going to be well worth it.
