What's the gameplay like in LIT? Specifically, does it use motion stuff in any significant way?
Okay, so I've never actually played LIT, it's part of the reason I'm excited for it since I thought it'd be one of the Wii horror games I'd never get a good chance to play or add to my collection. I do know of it being a person who researches these games, though.
The WiiWare game was basically a puzzle game with horror elements. LIT's use of the Wii Remote was very limited and would be easy to emulate on PC. Basically the game didn't use the Wii Remote functions at all unless you went to behind-the-shoulder mode to scope the environment/use your slingshot (the game is typically was top-down, but had a mode where you would go behind the shoulder to use a slingshot weapon and your flashlight). Then it was just pointer controls, and to put in a new battery in your flashlight (it has limited use since light is important to gameplay) you'd shake the Wii Remote.
Gameplay basically has you going through different rooms of a school, mostly classrooms but there were other levels like a library, the gym, etc. In each room, your goal is to get to the exit. You start off in a pitch black room with only your flashlight and slingshot in the only source of light in the room, and quickly need to find a light to turn on or a window to break or something to get a light trail going (step into darkness and the monsters can get you easily). The gameplay is simple, there are entities in the dark, they cannot enter the light. Before you found a lightsource, you could focus your flashlight gaze on an enemy to stun them, but the flashlight again had limited batteries and couldn't be relied on for too long. When you get light sources going it becomes a puzzle game to get out fo the room, sometimes you need to find a key, sometimes you need to just find the exit or stop a particularly powerful entity from getting you before you exit. The flashlight and slingshot were very limited so you could not rely on them, You can use your slingshot to break windows open, but it also used ammo.
I've heard it introduces a lot as it goes on, like bombs and trickier entities with different behaviors, and such, but never played again. I know the original game had 30 levels if this is the WiiWare version (which I hope it is and it is older). Story had you saving your girlfriend, and it was well reviewed at the time for what it was. I remember it got a 9/10 on Destructoid and a 7.1/10 on IGN.
