The Light Keeps Us Safe Preview
There’s very little dialogue in The Light Keeps Us Safe. At the start of the game, the only speaking role is a woman whispering into the player’s communications device, and she’s only around for a few minutes before she leaves.

“You are lucky, in a way. You got to hide down there for so long. But now you have to deal with it all alone.”
