Scrylight: Augmented Reality Horror Game

Developed by:
Spectropia Studios


Kickstarter Launch:
October 10th 2023.


In 1842, Spiritualist Jeremiah Scry wrote his infamous book outlining his own methods for allowing the living to view and interact with the dead through the use of forbidden illumination techniques and rituals. All in the hope of recording evidence of ‘life after death.’ Then one day Scry vanished, along with his mysterious book. Now over 100 years later, a set of Scry’s papers have been recovered, his ancient light rituals updated to the digital age thanks to the power of augmented reality. Scry’s use of illumination techniques used to communicate with entities, modernised into a unique signal, utilised by smart phones.


Scrylight is the next generation of mobile gaming. Utilising ground-breaking, Augmented Reality technology powered by Niantic Lightship (Pokemon Go), players are able to take host their own custom ghost hunts wherever and whenever they choose, with limitless entities.


With gameplay so unsettling, players are kept on edge, allowing them to be immersed into a world which  starts to blur the boundaries of what’s real and what isn’t. Literally jump in and turn whatever your environment may be, into a fully immersive terrifying experience utilising cutting edge Augmented Reality technology with full 360 audio. There’s no getting away from the terror.
