Evaluation

WILL: Follow The Light launched on May 7, 2026 as a story-driven first-person adventure puzzle game from indie studio TomorrowHead Studio. Since launch, the developer has been highly active, shipping five patches between launch and June 20, 2026 — covering bug fixes, puzzle reworks, quality-of-life improvements (chapter selector, cloud saves, autosave checkpoints), and Steam Deck optimizations. On June 8, 2026, the developer published a one-month post-launch reflection explicitly stating they are "far from done" with updates planned throughout the year. On June 11, 2026, alongside achieving Steam Deck Verified status, the developer published a concrete 2026 roadmap with three named phases: Q2 2026 (further optimizations and a major update described as "already on the horizon"), Q3 2026 (new content focused on pacing and immersion), and Q4 2026 (a Free Sailing Mode giving players freedom to explore the northern seas, plus additional sailing and boat features). The June 20, 2026 patch note also reaffirms that "more improvements planned for the months ahead" and directs players to check the roadmap. The developer's communication has been consistent and frequent, with no signs of distress or silence. The roadmap represents a clear, structured commitment to new content through at least the end of 2026. The only DLC listed is the released soundtrack.

About this game

WILL: Follow The Light is a story-driven, first-person adventure puzzle game about a perilous personal journey through the harsh northern latitudes. To find peace and reunite with his family, Will must sail across endless waters, face numerous challenges, and ultimately discover himself.  

EXPLORE A STORY OF FATHERS AND SONS

You play as Will, a lighthouse keeper on a remote island in the northern seas. The story begins during one of your typically solitary shifts when an unexpected radio message shatters the routine. A sudden disaster has struck your hometown, and your only son is missing. Determined to find him, you must set out on a quest aboard your sailing yacht, Molly, navigating the treacherous northern seas.

The harder you search for your son, the more questions arise. What hidden truths lie in your bond with your own father? Where is your beloved wife? What has happened to your family? The answers are scattered across the unforgiving northern environments you explore — an abandoned island accessible only by sea, a mountain range traversable by dog sled, and your home now standing among ruins and accessible only on foot.

Through the journey, you discover and confront truths about yourself, whether you’re ready for them or not. 

All of it to save your son…

…or yourself?

FEATURES:

  • A stunning northern wilderness – breathtaking northern landscapes on land and sea, brought to life in Unreal Engine 5.

  • Deep exploration and traversal systems – realistic sailing and dog sledding mechanics let you explore a vast world.

  • A story of fathers and sons – a compelling narrative adventure in a mysterious setting, with puzzles, secrets, and revelations in every chapter.

  • A cinematic adventure – experience Will’s story through narration and environmental storytelling.

  • Challenging puzzles – encounter immersive puzzles and set-piece moments.

  • Original soundtrack – an atmospheric blend of experimental textures and unique instruments, seamlessly weaving character themes into the world’s musical narrative.
